The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence is profoundly changing the U.S. economic landscape. A new study reveals its dual nature: it has the potential to create huge economic value, but it can also exacerbate social inequality. Research predicts that this technology will create nearly $2 trillion in wealth in the United States. However, its negative impacts cannot be ignored, especially on vulnerable groups.
The latest research shows that generative artificial intelligence is expected to create nearly $2 trillion in wealth in the United States, but it may exacerbate the racial wealth gap, causing black family wealth to shrink, and the racial wealth gap may widen by $43 billion. Additionally, AI could displace jobs held by black professionals, further widening the wealth gap.
The results of this study warn us that while enjoying the economic dividends brought by artificial intelligence, we must attach great importance to its potential social risks and actively take measures to ensure that scientific and technological progress benefits all members of society, avoid exacerbating social inequality, and promote greater fairness. , more inclusive social development. We need to pay attention to and address the negative social impacts that artificial intelligence may bring to ensure that its development benefits all mankind.
