In short:
The NSW Personal Injury Commission assessed a 34-year-old Aldi and home delivery worker suffered damages of $950,000 after a car crash on his way to work.
Commission member Phillip Carr cited uncertainties including the impact of artificial intelligence on the job market when calculating his future economic loss.
What’s next?
The government says it’s too soon to draw firm conclusions that AI is causing or will cause future job losses but will keep monitoring the data.
“AI is going to take your job (or someone else’s so they can do yours) anyway so your life isn’t worth anything”
Of course it does. That’s the point of it.
Still it’s good to see this being recognised by some people with a bit of say as a problem.
No, the fact of the judgment.
Actual job disruption isn’t the point. Labor discipline is.
Hey if we’re gonna speculate, it goes both ways. AI leads to temporary layoffs and young workers not getting trained, then the bubble bursts, then the veterans get rehired for even more.
Can’t pick the cheap option and confidently say this is it. Not if you have integrity.
