A new research article describes the rational adoption of AI as a "tragedy of cognitive goods": reducing entry-level positions provides individual gains for companies at the potential cost of eroding professional expertise. The effects may not become apparent until between 2030 and 2045.
Delayed Effects Until 2045
According to the article, the consequences of this dynamic may not surface until 2030 to 2045. This timeframe corresponds to when today's entry-level employees are expected to become the experienced workforce, with the stakes being the impact of AI on professional expertise.
An Individual Mechanism That Weakens the Whole
The mechanism described relies on the fact that each company that reduces entry-level positions gains an individual benefit. However, on a professional scale, these choices lead to an erosion of collective expertise. The article characterizes this dynamic as a "tragedy of cognitive goods": the rational adoption of AI could thus lead to the loss of expertise in entire sectors.
