《The Economist 》points out that AI technology has not yet taken over "entry-level jobs in knowledge-intensive industries" because companies are only using AI to help employees complete tasks faster, not to make them lose their jobs.

However, the author believes that in the next 10-20 years, if an economic recession occurs, AI will lead to increased productivity and severe unemployment during periods of overall economic turmoil.

In conclusion, the upgrading of AI technology to replace human labor will severely impact humanity's original employment and livelihood capabilities. The author warns that AI will inevitably occur gradually, like the threat of global warming to survival, then suddenly intensify, leaving humanity with no time to adapt. While humanity remains unprepared, this may be humanity's final, unavoidable choice!

《經濟學人》指出：AI 科技現在還未接管「知識密集型產業的入門級工作」，這是因為企業只是利用 AI 幫助員工更快完成工作，而不想讓他們丟掉工作。

但作者認為，在未來10-20年後，若經濟衰退，AI 將會在整體經濟動盪的時期中讓AI 取代的生產力成長和造成嚴重失業。

綜上，AI 技術升級取代人力將嚴重打擊人類原來的就業與謀生能力，作者提醒：AI必然會像暖化對生存的威脅一樣，先逐漸發生，然後突然加劇，讓人類沒有適應期，而人類確還是無所反應，這或許就是人類最後的選擇，不得不的選擇！
