Pro
Until an autonomous and sentient robot is developed, generative AI will follow the same trajectory of past technological progress that people feared, from automated textile manufacturing machinery to the internet. It will eliminate some jobs but create others. It will change how we work and may increase our productivity. But citizens will have to pressure their representatives to impose carefully considered safeguards — and workers will have to organize to ensure AI does not deteriorate working conditions and instead serves to benefit all.
Con
The rise of generative AI is not a future possibility — it’s here, reshaping work across every industry, from real-time coding to customer service. While some still downplay its effects, that’s a dangerous mistake, an attitude likely to cause more harm than good. The risks are not just unemployment, but dislocation, identity loss and deepened inequity, especially for those without access to retraining or resources and whose jobs are among the ones most likely to disappear. The question isn’t whether AI will transform work. The real question is: Will we shape that change to serve everyone, or allow it to deepen divides?
