For example, Uber has used AI, Machine Learning, and automation to revolutionize the taxi experience. That has created far more jobs than it has destroyed. Has it created a lot of problems for unionized, old school taxi cab drivers. Yes. That's called disruption or creative destruction. In addition, the jobs created by Uber, even though in great numbers, are not as lucrative as the old taxi industry. But it has democratized the industry. If unionized taxi workers really wanted to fight back, they should have voted for their union leaders to spend their dues money on creating a rival automated app for their service, instead of spending money on lawyers to fight Uber in court to ban them from cities. So in wasting their dues money, they've confirmed their future will end.
