Will artificial intelligence (AI) destroy more jobs than it creates over the next decade? In a Wall Street Journal debate with Oxford University's Carl Benedikt Frey, Rob Atkinson argues that AI will lead to more spending and investing - and jobs.

It always leads to higher productivity, which in turn lowers prices or raises wages, either of which leads to more spending and investment, which creates jobs.
