Nut graf from incisive HBR article: Economists’ more recent models of automation also provide crucial lessons for the coming tech wave. If AI is going to usher in an era of widely-shared prosperity, two things will need to be true. First, it needs to create new kinds of work that humans can excel at — new tasks that didn’t exist before. Second, decision-making at all levels, from firms to governments, needs to include workers’ voices. That doesn’t necessarily mean giving workers a veto over every potential AI use case or insisting that no jobs be lost. But it does mean ensuring workers have the power to make their perspective heard.
