Working conditions were for quite a long time absolutely horrendous. Child labour went from helping your parents on the farm to working in dangerous factories for 12 hour shifts.
Massive amounts of pollution, which we are seeing the effects of today, and that doesn't only include CO2 emissions.
Ideally, AI would help humanity work less or achieve more with less effort, but we both know that's not how corporations function. When there is more profit to be made, or money to be saved, they will.
AI will cost people jobs. Funnily enough, its trade jobs that are probably the safest from all these changes.
