Artificial intelligence (AI) can provide "machine usefulness" for human workers, augmenting their jobs rather than replacing them.
However, there is a concern that AI could lead to job displacement and reinforce economic inequality.
MIT economist Daron Acemoglu emphasizes the importance of making AI more useful to humans and ensuring that the economic benefits are shared widely.
He suggests that innovations that augment workers' tasks can lead to prosperity for the workforce.
Acemoglu also highlights the need for worker power and the careful implementation of technology to achieve shared prosperity and productivity gains.
