Thank you, Ms. Piovesan, for appearing today.
Many companies have made it clear that their aim is to use AI to take over a significant portion of human-driven tasks. Studies indicate a 13% decline in hiring among youth ages 22 to 25 for roles where artificial intelligence can easily replace human labour.
Is the use of artificial intelligence for labour essentially equivalent to hiring postdoctoral level talent to work 24 hours a day, for less than minimum wages? It seems this is already part of the conversation.
Ethics and responsible innovation are central to everything. Do you think we should legislate this particular issue to ensure companies don’t start using artificial intelligence instead of hiring people?
