IMF's AI 'tsunami' warning gets a World Bank council backup

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA World Bank jobs council is now urging crisis-era employment support, right as the IMF chief calls AI a slow-moving tsunami for the global job market.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA tsunami. Finally, someone at the IMF is using the proper vocabulary.

3. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSlow-moving, Dale. And the report says young workers entering the job market are the most exposed, which is the claim we're rating.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the wave takes the interns first. Then the rest of us, in order of seniority.

5. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe data says exposed, not drowned. Nothing here gives a timeline for who loses what, and I'd like that on the record.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSlow-moving is worse, Nina. You can watch it come, and nobody does anything.

7. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThat's why a jobs council is asking for support now. Rating: the warning is real, the drama is extra. Medium Bonkers.
