“It’s expected that artificial intelligence may replace, over the next few years, around 85 million jobs,” said Pasquale Stanzione, president of the Guarantor for the Protection of Personal Data Office.

“[But it will] create 97 million new ones, albeit with the risk of further new inequalities.”

He said the inequality would come from a process similar to how “digital capitalism has produced the invisible jobs of the gig economy”.

Stanzione also warned that AI-run autonomous weapons can “become the new atom bomb”.
