AI is coming for the meritocracy and upward mobility

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

An essay in Noema Magazine argues that artificial intelligence threatens the meritocratic ladder that has long driven upward mobility. As automation spreads into white-collar and professional work, the traditional path of education leading to skilled employment and social advancement may be eroding. Readers are debating whether AI will entrench privilege rather than reward talent, and what that means for the future of class mobility in advanced economies.

Why now: Fears that AI will displace the professional careers that underpin upward mobility are intensifying as automation reaches white-collar work.
