AI will create more jobs but also inequality says watchdog

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 3 - Artificial Intelligence will will create more jobs but also more inequality, Italy's privacy watchdog said Wednesday.
    "It is expected that artificial intelligence may replace, over the next few years, around 85 million jobs but create 97 million new ones, albeit with the risk of further new inequalities," said Pasquale Stanzione, president of the Guarantor for the Protection of Personal Data Office.
    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". (ANSA).
