The utterly daft thing is that we are critically short of trained professionals in professions that require proper training, such as medicine, teaching, electrical engineering, etc. And there are lots of very well trained and educated people desperate to work here, who would work extremely hard for not very much because their home just got bombed by Israel or Russia. The ones on the boats are not the peniless uneducated masses some people think they are, but the few wealthy and educated enough to escape their situation at all.. A lot of them COULD work, but I certainly wouldn't pick any who cite AI as their qualification..
But all those types we shut out and bar from working, paying tax and contributing to the economy, while we force them to live in expensive prisons/"hotels" that We the taxpayer pay for.. Plus we already kicked out the ones from Europe that used to work here too (and who were doing a great job).. Why? Because we are greedy and prefer a shortage economy that drives inflation?
Whereas AI graduates, we have far too many of those already. Seems to be the only thing our universities can produce are people who cheat on their coursework. Congratulations you are now an AI graduate...
What would you prefer, a community nurse who's come on a boat from Lebanon, or no community nurse at all, cos we can't find or train any
Whereas if the question is about an AI expert, wherever they've come from, the obvious answer is "None at all, please!"
