Subject: [FRIAM] IT software dev / coding 

Zack Cass, The New RenAIssance, poses five questions that must be answered 
negatively in order for a task/job to be automated (replaced with AI). 



1- does it enhance human agency? 

2- does it deepen trust and connection? 

3-does it sharpen human judgement? 

4-does it expand collective opportunity? 

5-can outcomes be audited and/or reversed? 



It seems to me, based on fifty years working in business IT development, that 
several hundred thousand developers/software engineers should be replaced with 
AI and automated out of existence.
