Citrini Research Predicts AI Job Losses by 2028

Citrini Research, a small analyst firm, has released a scenario predicting severe negative effects of AI on the US economy by 2028, triggering a sell-off of numerous tech stocks. The report posits that as companies increasingly rely on AI over human labor, initial productivity gains will lead to widespread job losses among knowledge workers and office employees, resulting in lower wages and diminished consumer spending.

The implications of this analysis are significant, raising concerns about the long-term sustainability of economic growth driven by AI adoption. As many high-paying jobs disappear, the resulting decline in consumer spending could impact other sectors adversely. Additionally, with reduced tax revenues due to job losses, state intervention measures would be curtailed, potentially exacerbating the economic downturn as companies cut costs, further increasing their reliance on AI technology.
