What happened
At a major business conference, Jeff Bezos told the world not to worry — he believes AI will lead to a shortage of workers, not a surplus of unemployed people. That same week, a report came out showing 97,000 people lost their jobs in May, and nearly half of those layoffs were directly tied to AI replacing their roles.

Takeaway
Easy to be optimistic about automation when you own the robots.
