- Alphabet Inc.’s top lawyer Kent Walker tried to quell growing fears that AI will eliminate jobs, saying the technology will instead enhance a worker’s life if harnessed correctly.
- “Jobs will change, but not go away,” Walker told FOX Business at a discussion in Washington, D.C., on Thursday in response to concerns on whether jobs will be replaced by automation. “AI automates tasks, not jobs.”
- Walker argued that if productivity-enhancing tools are used in the right way, they can ensure “national success, competitiveness and [the] ability for all of us to live healthy, happy lives.”
