That’s cool that NZ is thinking about AI in this way. I understand that it can be a consistent narrative to promote AI while also not getting enough people in the country.
But what we see with the messaging in America is inconsistent in comparison. They simultaneously say we need more people than ever. They say there are not enough people to take the jobs, so that’s why we need outsourcing, that’s why we need the myriad of work visas. Meanwhile, tech laid off 400k people at least since 2022.
Then to add insult to injury, they say AI is taking jobs. Well which is it? Is AI taking jobs or are there so many jobs that we need India to take them all?
You can see why AI is a complete distraction from my point of view, right? American tech companies lay off 10k and then apply for 10k work visas or sign a bigger contract with Cognizant. AI is irrelevant from this perspective.
