Profit rates might rise in the labor-intensive sector where human skills outweigh AI-produced outputs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Need for balanced growth and redistribution<\/strong>: For capitalism to sustain, growth in the automated sector must coincide with a rise in labor-intensive sectors or significant redistribution to non-working populations to maintain aggregate demand and profits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Evolution of labor market dynamics<\/strong>: While AI may lead to de-skilling in some jobs, it will also create high-skill demand in areas where human-over-AI-generated outputs are more valued due to unique human skills and appreciation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Human adaptability<\/strong>: There will always be a segment of employment where human labor, even in sophisticated forms, remains superior or more valued, even if AI attempts to duplicate the work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Marx Can Tell Us About Artificial Intelligence https:\/\/jacobin.com\/2026\/07\/marx-neoclassical-economics-ai-labor Publish Date: 2026-07-14 10:57:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":243105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/media.jacobin.com\/images\/2026\/7\/373707865257.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-243104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243104"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243104"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243104\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":243106,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243104\/revisions\/243106"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
