‘Everything is changing’: We must act now to beat unemployment risks from AI – Mark Cuban

‘Billionaire Mark Cuban has warned that problems arising from artificial intelligence must be dealt with now to prevent mass unemployment.
Speaking at the OZY festival Sunday in New York’s Central Park, the Dallas Mavericks owner predicted massive upheaval in the worlds of science, technology and commerce in the coming decades.
“However much change you saw over the past ten years with the Apple iPhone, that’s nothing,” said Cuban, adding that he is concerned about artificial intelligence making everyday business practices obsolete.
“There’s going to be a lot of unemployed people replaced with technology and if we don’t start dealing with that now, we’re going to have some real problems,” he warned.
Asked what important business trends he has his eye on, Cuban was emphatic. “We’re going through a transitional period where we’ll see more disruption driven by artificial intelligence than we’ve seen in the last 30 years,” he said.’
