The End of Upward Mobility: AI Comes for the Meritocracy
Original: The End Of Upward Mobility – AI is coming for the meritocracy
An essay in Noema Magazine argues that artificial intelligence threatens to dismantle the meritocratic ladder that has long driven upward mobility. It contends that as AI takes over skilled cognitive work, the traditional path of talent and education leading to advancement is narrowing. Readers are debating whether meritocracy can survive when machines outperform the educated professionals it was built to elevate.
Why now: It taps into widespread anxiety about AI displacing the skilled jobs that underpin social mobility.
