As artificial intelligence continues to solve more difficult problems, will unemployment in the United States of America go up? More specifically, will AI adoption be directly linked to significant unemployment increases? AI adoption must be directly tied to a 5% or higher point increase in the unemployment rate from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

US unemployment is around 4.3%. Would “5% or higher point increase” mean it raising to 9.3%? Over a single reporting period, or total rise from some particular baseline?

How would this resolve if >0 people have lost their jobs because of AI automation, but they make up a negligible percent of the increase in unemployment?

@JonahWeissman As stated in the description: “AI adoption must be directly tied to a 5% or higher increase in the unemployment rate from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.“

5% or higher points of increase in unemployment need to be attributed to as being directly tied to AI adoption.
