Tom Steyer föreslår jobbgaranti för arbetare som ersätts av AI

Miljardären Tom Steyer, kandidat till guvernörsposten i Kalifornien, har presenterat en plan för att säkra jobb med förmåner för arbetare som ersätts av artificiell intelligens. Förslaget markerar det första löftet av detta slag från en kandidat på delstatsnivå i valet.

Steyer tillkännagav initiativet som en del av sin valplattform. Det syftar till att skydda Kaliforniens invånare vars anställning hotas av störningar från framväxande AI-teknik genom att erbjuda garanterade tjänster tillsammans med tillhörande förmåner.
