200 Nobel Laureates and Big Tech Leaders Warn: 'AI Job Shock, Must Prepare Now'

Over 200 economists, tech executives, and AI researchers signed an open letter urging governments and industries to prepare for AI's potential to displace millions of jobs. The letter, led by Stanford's Digital Economy Lab, warns that AI could revolutionize the economy within a decade at a faster pace than past industrial revolutions. Signatories emphasize the need for policy frameworks to complement human labor and mitigate job displacement while harnessing AI's productivity benefits, with notable signatories including Eric Schmidt, Reid Hoffman, Joseph Stiglitz, and Jeff Dean.
