A potential burst of an artificial intelligence bubble could pose two linked risks for workers: an economic downturn and faster replacement of jobs through automation, according to NPR.
Research on previous recessions suggests that downturns can accelerate automation. That pattern raises the possibility that an AI-related slump could encourage faster adoption of technology that displaces workers.
The research points to a potential risk, rather than a certainty that an AI bubble will burst or that resulting job losses will accelerate.
