Mike Fishbein(@mfishbein):It's impossible to know the net impact of AI on jobs. The Economist says AI created 1 million US jobs and only 200,000 AI-attributed layoffs since mid-2023. But how would you even get the data to know when a layoff is because of AI? It's self-reported by the company. They might not be telling the truth. The business might just be in bad shape and AI is the scapegoat. There's also silent data. Roles that never opened because AI did the work instead. That never shows up as a layoff. Net net? Who knows.
