A The Matrix-style "robot singularity" is bunk, but the social displacement created when AI-driven robots can do every job that can be reliably and enjoyably done by persons of average intelligence or below, cheaper and more reliably than human beings, as well as doing a lot of jobs that require above average intelligence -- for instance, AI can already do radiology better than board-certified radiologists, and most routine legal work can be done by a bot -- will be severe. The left will be quite happy to buy the votes of the out-of-work truck drivers, fry cooks, fruit-pickers (and radiologists -- the lawyers in our legislatures will surely pass Luddite legislation to make law-bots illegal) and the like by making them all wards of the state. What is our program? NO, saying that automation has always created new jobs isn't a program, it's a hope that automating brain-power will only be as disruptive as automating brawn was during the industrial revolution. A hope isn't a program. What do we on the right have to offer if that hope proves vain? Or if all the new jobs really require an IQ in excess of 140 to do?
