  1. No country is going to have any real advantage when it comes to A.I., the importance that A.I. will have on society, is already showing signs of decentralising A.I. so everyone can benefit from it, you only have to look at how rapid the open source A.I. is developing, simply to make sure no one person, corporation or country controls too much of it. As for jobs, well we have to be realistic, we've never had a situation, ever in human history of something that can take over so many jobs like A.I. can, we've had things like automation that takes over a lot of jobs, frees us to work on other jobs, but A.I. is very different, eventually, it will more or less be able to do any job we can do, cheaper, faster and better than we can do them, and the assumption that we'll create new jobs, that's true, but what makes us think that A.I. won't be able to do those new jobs better than we can do? The very nature of building A.I. is to have a broad intelligence, in other words, it will in time be able to do anything we can do, cheaper, better and faster than we can do. On the one hand, that's a major problem for the job market and society as we know it, but A.I. will be able to lift living standards in a massive way, personally, I don't think the capitalist system we have now will cope that well with what's on its way, it's design to get us all working, that's going to be difficult when A.I. can do all our jobs, and if there is one thing you can guarantee on, businesses will always try to reduce cost, human labour is a big cost for them, so they have a massive incentive to cut us out of the workforce with being cheaper, faster and not having to worry about all the workers benefits. Then we have consumers, well imagine this, one business uses A.I. and robotics, another uses human labour, who do you think is going to have the advantage in what they create and how cheap they could sell products for? Consumers will always shift towards products that are cheaper or better, A.I. and robotics can deliver on both, basically, the pressure on the human labour market is going to be immense over the coming decades, and it's going to be interesting to see how governments react and what unemployment numbers will be, once the avalanche start, it likely could end up being rapid, something we are likely going to see in our lives with how A.I. is developing.
