Have you maybe confused the time periods in the different discussions? I think the AI making jobs obsolete part is in the next few years, whereas the talent shortage issue is right now - although as usual, it's a wage issue, not a talent issue. Pay enough and the right people will turn up.
Who knows about the future, right? I'm just trying to read the expectations of the people who have control over both the AI, Capital and Politics and they don't strike me as optimistic about AI actually doing much in near future.
And that might be a FOMO or they can simply exit with profit as long as they can flame up the hype. An of course, they may be hoping to have it in long term.
They are not replacing their workers despite claiming that AI is currently as good as a PHD and they certainly don't go to AI medical doctors despite claiming that their tool is better than most doctors.
