AI Drives Monopoly Threat Over Mass Unemployment
7.1
In an opinion piece for The Mises Institute, Attila Rebak argues that artificial superintelligence will displace large amounts of work but will not produce permanent mass unemployment. He emphasizes that markets allocate accountability as well as output and warns that incumbent-friendly regulation—citing EU compliance costs (€330,000) and intense lobbying—risks creating monopolistic cartels that capture AI gains.
