In this clip, AI ethics expert John C. Havens calls out the way tech leaders talk about Artificial General Intelligence like a coming savior, while people in the real world are already losing jobs to AI with no safety net.

He argues that
AGI is speculative theology, not settled science
hype about “the future of work” distracts from present-day layoffs and precarity
buzzwords like UBI and “AI will create more jobs” often stay at the level of talk while real support comes (if at all) from families, communities, and faith-based groups
AGI won’t be there to write you a check when you’re suddenly unemployed. So who will?
