AI Threatens the End of Upward Mobility

Original: The End Of Upward Mobility – AI is coming for the meritocracy

A Noema Magazine essay argues that artificial intelligence is undermining meritocracy by automating the skilled cognitive work that historically allowed talented people from modest backgrounds to climb the social ladder. The piece contends that careers once open to strivers through education and expertise may narrow as machines absorb entry-level and mid-level knowledge work, threatening a core engine of upward mobility.

Why now: Debates over AI's impact on jobs and social mobility are intensifying as the technology spreads through white-collar professions.
