Re: Will AI taking people jobs and make the world worse?
I'm not sure if this happen in your country or not, but in my country most companies don't want to make their employees become permanent workers anymore, they only want contract workers because the companies don't have to give compensation to fired contract workers.
I understand that permanent workers are just a "myth", but if the companies suffer bad financial and want to reduce the employees, they would fire the contract workers first, so permanent workers are safer.
contract workers are exist in every country, there are many reason why a company hire contract workers, first of all they don’t need to workers permanently in which sector, they don't have enough work to do for a long time, when a company will hire contract workers for short time, and no job will permanent from the first month of joined or during apprenticeship, then if you will perform well then after 5 or 6 months your job will permanent this is the formality in my country.

When companies prefer to hire their employees on a contract basis of course they have certain targets and also they have advantages such as being able to lay off their employees after no longer needing work in that field or the company can easily review the performance of the workers and if they no longer work well then the worker will not have their contract extended.
When companies choose to hire employees on a contract basis then they have certain targets from the job and after they reach the target they can terminate the employment relationship because work in that field is no longer needed and on the other hand if they are interested in the performance we provide then maybe they will offer other fields of work that may have vacancies in their company.
