Direct competition with humans
Risk Domain
Social and economic inequalities caused by widespread use of AI, such as by automating jobs, reducing the quality of employment, or producing exploitative dependencies between workers and their employers.
"One or more artificial agent(s) could have the capacity to directly outcompete humans, for example through capacity to perform work faster, better adaptation to change, vaster knowledge base to draw from, etc. This may result in human labor becoming more expensive or less effective than artificial labor, leading to redundancies or extinction of the human labor force."(p. 687)
