Claim and evidence Close ×
Nilsson, “Artificial Intelligence, Employment, and Income” (1984) contests M01. After reviewing Simon's comparative-advantage argument and Leontief's input-output work, Nilsson argues that AI differs in kind from earlier labour-saving technologies, so the usual expansion-of-employment reasoning does not carry over.
