PREVIEW: AI and Employment: The Unemployment Question
Guest: Liz Peek
Liz Peek notes the slow start to the national conversation about AI-driven unemployment despite the technology's accelerating impact. She questions the political reaction if mass layoffs begin across sectors. AI is already delivering massive productivity gains for large S&P 500 companies, causing their stocks to rise sharply. However, small businesses, represented by the Russell 2000 index, are currently being left behind. This divergence raises concerns about widening economic inequality and the need for proactive policy discussions about workforce transition and retraining in an AI-dominated economy.
