06 · EDITION AND WITNESS COMPARISON
How the evidence for How AI May Change Work changes
The date of a document and the date of an interpretation are recorded separately.| Witness or edition | Date | Editorial status | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| International Labour Organization · AI and work | 2020s onward | Baseline source | Credible forecasts state assumptions, task definitions and time horizons. |
| Scholarly or institutional interpretation | Later review | Context layer | Explains language, history and uncertainty without becoming the original text. |
| Viral quotation or modern event match | Recent circulation | Derivative layer | Most vulnerable to translation drift, omitted failures and hindsight; compare with International Labour Organization · AI and work. |
07 · MAJOR CLAIMS
Representative claims and their limits
Central claim
Generative AI will alter clerical, professional and creative work unevenly.
Original-first test
The claim is checked against International Labour Organization · AI and work, not against a later summary.
Outcome test
Adoption, regulation, demand and new tasks can change employment outcomes; simple job-loss totals are not directly comparable.
08 · WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Comparison with events
Adoption, regulation, demand and new tasks can change employment outcomes; simple job-loss totals are not directly comparable.09 · DISPUTES AND COUNTERARGUMENTS
Where interpretation changes
The main dispute concerns the distance between 2020s onward and Task studies · workplace adoption · long-term labor adjustment. Translation, selective quotation, changed definitions and hindsight can make a broad record appear more exact than it was. Competing readings are therefore preserved rather than silently merged.10 · EVIDENCE SCORE & PROVISIONAL CONCLUSION
Evidence evolving
AI may automate tasks, augment workers and reorganize occupations without mapping neatly to whole-job replacement. SALGIL's provisional score reflects source traceability and testability, not religious worth or cultural importance.11 · SOURCES AND REVIEW
