AI is coming for the meritocracy, essay warns

Original: The End Of Upward Mobility – AI is coming for the meritocracy

Noema Magazine has published an essay arguing that artificial intelligence threatens the traditional path of upward mobility by automating the skilled, cognitive work that meritocracies rely on. The piece contends that careers once opened to ambitious people through education and competence may no longer offer a ladder as AI absorbs those tasks, and readers are debating whether technological progress now entrenches privilege rather than rewarding merit.

Why now: Debate is surging over whether AI will close off social mobility and undermine merit-based advancement.
