AI threatens the ladder of upward mobility
Original: The End Of Upward Mobility – AI is coming for the meritocracy
A new essay in Noema Magazine argues that artificial intelligence is undermining the meritocracy by automating the skilled, cognitive jobs that historically allowed talented people from modest backgrounds to rise. The piece warns that as AI takes over white-collar and professional work, the traditional path of education leading to upward mobility may close, deepening inequality and freezing social stratification.
Why now: Rapid advances in AI have sparked anxiety that white-collar careers long seen as routes to social mobility are now at risk of automation.
