In The Present Future: AI’s Impact Long Before Superintelligence, Ethan Mollick offers,

Organizations need to move beyond viewing AI deployment as purely a technical challenge. Instead, they must consider the human impact of these technologies. Long before AIs achieve human-level performance, their impact on work and society will be profound and far-reaching. The examples I showed —from construction site monitoring to virtual avatars—are just the beginning. The urgent task before us is ensuring these transformations enhance rather than diminish human potential, creating workplaces where technology serves to elevate human capability rather than replace it. The decisions we make now, in these early days of AI integration, will shape not just the future of work, but the future of human agency in an AI-augmented world.

In a word, YES.  I’m inclined to break this down further, following the thinking on the individual elements – but for now it’s enough.  The call is timely, given the choices we’re making in the US (and in many other countries) about our vision of the future.

Now, if we knew where to find people – perhaps even professionals – who focus on ‘the human impact of technologies’. 😉
