  1. The tax burden imposed on human workers should be shifted to AI technology that replaces humans to restore the lost funding of our social safety networks caused by corporations replacing human workers with AI robotic replacement work . It is unfair for taxed human to have to compete with untaxed robots .

  2. Integration of automation into the workplace has been occurring for decades so it is not really something new. This is especially true when a robot can replace an overpaid human in a job where the only requirement is to be a functional warm body (think assembly lines). Yes, AI should not be the final say in critial decisions as we see too many errors by IA and AI should never be able to use a title insinuating they hold a professional designation such as RN, MD, etc. The unions have to face the reality they have placed their members at the top of the list for replacement by AI and robots through strikes and demands for pay which does not fit the qualifications for the job.

  3. Picturing Ed Delaney and Nate Feltman shaking their fists at the sky and screaming “if the buggy whip factories close it will DESTROY the middle class!”
