Business leaders shouldn't "BS" employees about the impact of AI on jobs, according to one tech billionaire, who says they should be transparent and honest.

  • Jim Kavanaugh, CEO of World Wide Technology, told CNBC that people are “too smart” to accept artificial intelligence won’t alter their work environment.

  • Business leaders shouldn’t “BS” employees about the impact of AI on jobs, Kavanaugh said, adding that they should be as transparent and honest as possible.

  • Kavanaugh, who has a net worth of $7 billion, stressed that overall he’s an optimist when it comes to AI and its ability to improve productivity.

    I spoke too broadly; I apologize.

    I didn’t mean to say that they didn’t make a lasting positive impact on labor and consumer rights.

    All I meant to say was that the technologies they opposed still exist and are now indispensable and (mostly) positive features of the industrial economy.

    The victories you describe are positive and massive; my argument is that victories like those are possible and desirable (and necessary!) while winning a Butlerian Jihad is none of those things.
