Throughout history, there have been concerns that new technology would eliminate jobs, whether it was ATMs replacing bank tellers or spreadsheets reducing the need for bookkeepers. However, these fears have largely proven unfounded. Technology tends to create more jobs overall, with increased productivity, lower prices, and the emergence of entirely new products and services. In some cases, technology even enhances the need for specific roles by reducing costs or creating new demand. While technological advancements can disrupt certain professions, they often lead to the creation of new roles in adjacent fields, mitigating overall job loss. However, it's crucial to consider how technology is implemented and its impact on income inequality and worker displacement.

The key questions revolve around the equitable distribution of benefits and the support provided to workers affected by technological disruptions.
