Selekoa’s 16 records dated 1984, in date order, grouped by topic.

Selective: what the records hold, not a history of the year.

How this page is made
  • Each record keeps the kind of date its source gives: an event, a publication, an announcement, an effective date, a revision, a signature, a snapshot, or the start or end of an interval. A snapshot is one dated report of a state.
  • A record dated only to a month sits under that month, before the records dated to a day. A record dated only to the year sits under the year, before the months. No day or month is added.
  • An announcement records what a party stated. It does not show that anything was done, built or paid for.
  • Dates a party states for a year are listed apart, after the records: targets, deadlines and terms, and dates stated in passing, such as a reported start of operation. So is a record’s own date that falls after its sources were last checked, such as a law’s date of effect. A stated date given only in words, with no year, is not listed.
  • Records with an unknown date are not listed. A record with an interval appears in the year it starts and in the year it ends, or once, with both dates, when both fall in one year.
  • Each provision of a text is a record of its own. Provisions sharing a text and a date are shown here as one entry, with their number, and listed on the text’s page; a contested or unresolved one is listed here on its own. The counts on this page include each provision record.
  • The page is generated from the records, with no selection or framing by an editor. Coverage is uneven across years and topics: a year or topic with few records may be one the records barely cover.

Dated to 1984 only

  1. · publication · dated to the year

    “Artificial Intelligence, Employment, and Income” (1984) credits Nils J. Nilsson as its author. Evidence ↗
  2. · publication · dated to the year

    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. Evidence ↗
  3. · publication · dated to the year

    Nilsson, “Artificial Intelligence, Employment, and Income” (1984) articulates M05. Applying a 'law of reduction', Nilsson argues that producers will replace human labour with cheaper AI in every activity, including the service and white-collar work to which labour has moved, and that too few nonautomatable services remain to base an economy on. Evidence ↗
  4. · publication · dated to the year

    Nilsson, “Artificial Intelligence, Employment, and Income” (1984) bears on M05. Nilsson treats the eventual performance by AI of the new jobs that AI itself creates as a matter of time, alongside his argument (pdf p. 6) that ever-cheaper AI 'labor' will replace human labour until its cost share is insignificant. Evidence ↗
  5. · publication · dated to the year

    Nilsson, “Artificial Intelligence, Employment, and Income” (1984) articulates M06a. From the cost-reduction argument and the identity between labour costs and labour income, Nilsson concludes that labour's share of income will fall to a small fraction. Evidence ↗
  6. · publication · dated to the year

    Nilsson, “Artificial Intelligence, Employment, and Income” (1984) articulates M06b. Rejecting 'Luddite' obstruction and make-work jobs, Nilsson favours decoupling income from work, reviewing transfer payments, Kelso and Adler's broadened capital ownership and Albus's National Mutual Fund. Evidence ↗
  7. · publication · dated to the year

    Nilsson, “Artificial Intelligence, Employment, and Income” (1984) bears on M09. Nilsson records that he consulted economists (Leontief, Duchin, Simon, Solow) and that Solow doubted his premises; the body sets Simon's and Leontief's opposing views against each other. Evidence ↗
