**Submission Statement:** For years, the AI industry has been warning about a jobless future, for better or for worse. The current state of AI tools has yet to usher in any widespread collapse of the labor market, though AI doomsayers remain cautious. The cracks are beginning to show, especially in entry-level white collar work (which is especially susceptible to automation), though it’s difficult to determine whether this is solely due to AI, or other market forces at play. AI is poised to be a disruptive force on par with industrialization, and disruption creates winners and losers. And many Americans (primarily on the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum), see themselves as the likely losers. The backlash to AI is likely manifest itself in populist fervor, whether from the left or right. And with the contentious state of American politics, political anger is easily made manifest in physical violence.

We need to cram AI into everything as much as possible. People will generally just hold the status quo rather than actually force AI to go away.
