I recently worked on a "ghost paper" regarding AI technology, and I couldn't help but notice the possible demographic implications.
For several years, we've been informed that Hispanics will be the dominant demographic group in the U.S. Already, the city of Los Angeles is mostly Hispanic, and other metropolitan areas will follow suit.
The trend is unstoppable, except for one possible disruptor: artificial intelligence.
At some point, AI may takeover 30% to 50% of current jobs; however, that forecast is generous for some sectors, which may be entirely "wiped out."
According to CBInsights, manual labor and low-income positions are at great risk for elimination:
Currently, illegal immigration is a major problem in the U.S., and part of that is because we have companies that keep hiring them. But in the AI generation, these jobs that most illegals take should be entirely replaced with automated technologies.
Thus, there would be no point in coming here for jobs that don't exist. Eventually, it will severely crimp Hispanic demographic representation, as their dominance rests in pure numbers, not in the quality of those numbers (ie. not enough college grads, lower-income strata, etc).
