His roughly 6,000-word August 26 essay argues "AI will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst source of injustice," and that he sees no evidence leaders are confronting the transition adequately (CNN). Three risks: entry- and mid-level job displacement citing a Stanford finding of 16% relative employment decline for ages 22-25 in AI-exposed occupations, misuse across cyber, bio and autonomous weapons plus eventual loss of control, and harm to children's critical thinking.
