Martin, taking a more cautious stance, predicts that AI—and robotics in particular—will likely displace at least half of the workforce. He highlights that AI's capabilities are approaching and surpassing those of typical workers, especially in routine, predictable tasks.

Martin stresses that society must prepare for the economic upheaval that such displacement could cause, including wage suppression and the erosion of job dignity.
