Speaking in parliament on Wednesday , he pointed out that the impact of AI on the broad middle means that it is a “once in a generation technology”. He also warned that it could be a “once in a generation divider” that concentrates gains to those who control it, while displacing the very same workers who help to design, implement and build it.
