AI and Population

The combination of two topic problems could result in an opportunity.

1. Now that populations in most developed countries are in decline, many commentators are concerned about the economic challenges of a declining population. This is exacerbated by the fact that the only population growth is from immigration.

2.  The rapid development and engagement with Artificial Intelligence applications such as ChatGPT in 2023 raises concerns about changes to the world of work, with the prospect of wide spread unemployment.


On the bright side, if we put the two issues together we could envisage a scenario where populations do slowly decline, with all the related positive effects on the natural world, and the lost productivity is replaced by AI and other forms of automation.
