The claim that AI will displace more jobs than it creates on a net basis is not supported by the most authoritative evidence available. The IMF's widely cited 3.6% employment decline applies only to narrow, high-exposure occupations — not the economy overall. MIT Sloan, Goldman Sachs, the Dallas Fed, and Brookings all find little evidence of aggregate job loss, with offsetting job creation and reallocation effects dominating. Forward-looking projections supporting net displacement come primarily from lower-authority, commercially motivated sources and rely on speculative extrapolation rather than observed data.
