    • “AI means there will be fewer people required to do the same amount of work”

    • “this does not mean higher unemployment”

    I think you left out a steep off reasoning there. At least, I don’t follow.

      When productivity increases (as it has been doing for ages) the manufacturing output increases. That’s what normally happens.

        But the amount of workers will only stay the same if demand grows at the same rate as the production output.

            Only in the last case there is a chance that the amount of jobs will remain the same, the other cases will lead to lost jobs.

              Prices going down leads to increased demand and expansion. Salaries (everywhere) going up lead to increased demand and expansion.
