Although a few investors and entrepreneurs have become very rich, most people haven’t benefited. Some have even been automated out of their jobs."[1]<p><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/03/25/1070275/chatgpt-revolutionize-economy-decide-what-looks-like/" rel="nofollow">https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/03/25/1070275/chatgpt-...</a><p>"Daron Acemoglu, an MIT economist, provides compelling evidence for the role automation, robots, and algorithms that replace tasks done by human workers have played in slowing wage growth and worsening inequality in the US. In fact, he says, 50 to 70% of the growth in US wage inequality between 1980 and 2016 was caused by automation."[2]<p>[2] <a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/19/1049378/ai-inequality-problem/" rel="nofollow">https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/19/1049378/ai-inequ...</a>
