We should absolutely be concerned about AI leading to mass unemployment. We are already seeing the effects as automation replaces jobs in manufacturing, call centers, and truck driving. We need to consider new solutions like a universal basic income to address the inevitable displacement of workers.

I believe exempting small companies from most AI regulations would indeed promote innovation. These startups are the lifeblood of progress and should be allowed to explore and develop AI technologies without the same burdensome regulations that larger companies can navigate. It's critical, though, that we have a framework to scale up oversight as companies grow to ensure safety and ethical use.
