The AI jobs narrative is BS

Scott Galloway argues that the fear of AI-driven mass unemployment is a narrative engineered by those who profit from it, not data-driven. He compares AI to past technological innovations, which historically created more jobs than they destroyed. The article explores three scenarios: a bubble burst, slower-than-expected adoption, and rapid disruption outpacing adaptation. It concludes that current layoffs are cyclical, not structural, and the real issue is wealth inequality.
