ChinaZ.com, November 25th: Windows Central, a technology media outlet, published a blog post on November 24th stating that at the US-Saudi Investment Forum, Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a series of thought-provoking predictions. He pointed out that artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will pose a disruptive challenge to existing work models within the next 20 years.

Musk elaborated that as AI and robotics deeply penetrate various industries and workflows, productivity will experience an unprecedented leap, and human work will gradually transform into an "option." He vividly compared future work to choosing between sports or video games—a selectable activity in life. "Just like we need vegetables, we can either buy them from a store or grow and harvest them in our own backyard. Growing vegetables in the backyard is difficult, but some people still enjoy it," Musk said.

In fact, Musk's view is not unique. Discussions about AI replacing human labor have been rampant in the industry for some time. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates once predicted that AI technology will eventually replace humans in most jobs. Dario Amodi, CEO of AI startup Anthropic, made a more specific prediction, pointing out that AI could potentially cut up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs, undoubtedly casting a shadow over the employment prospects of Generation Z.

However, Musk appears quite optimistic about the potential wave of unemployment triggered by AI. He envisions an AI-driven world where work becomes voluntary and money loses its current value. Musk compares this vision to the scenario depicted by science fiction writer Ian Banks in his "Culture" series, where super- intelligent AI systems disrupt markets, leading to the disappearance of traditional jobs and currency. Musk infers: "If AI and robotics continue to advance, money will eventually become irrelevant."
