IBM CEO Krishna Says It's a 'Good Thing' if AI Takes Your Job

In capitalism, we aren't just producing commodities, we are producing surplus value on those commodities.

The surplus value (sans the cost of the labor) goes to the capitalists. The ones who own the companies, the property, and likewise the means of production.

As it is in pre-AI driven production, workers still get a paycheck. They don't reap the profits of their labor past this paycheck, but at least they are paid.

Post AI driven production, all surplus will go towards the owners of the production. There are no longer human workers, so there is no longer a workforce that will make any money.

So you can see that without solving this inherent contradiction in the capitalist system, an AI workforce will completely divide the capitalist class with everyone else.
