Reinharz Responds to Fears of Job Displacement, Urges Business Leaders and Consumers to Embrace AI’s Acceleration
Detroit, Michigan, August 21, 2025 – Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the Company), (OTCID:AITX), today announced that its CEO/CTO and founder, Steve Reinharz, has issued an op-ed to Reuters responding to recent coverage of public concerns around artificial intelligence and job displacement. In the piece, titled “AI Isn’t the Enemy. Standing Still Is.”, Reinharz challenges both business leaders and consumers to reject fear and instead move decisively to embrace the opportunities that AI acceleration presents.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll recently revealed that 71 percent of Americans fear AI will permanently displace jobs[i], reflecting a wave of uncertainty about the technology’s rapid rise. Reinharz counters that while the concern is understandable, standing still is the greater danger. He argues that success in this era will belong to those who adapt quickly, embrace intelligent tools, and build confidence in AI’s ability to amplify human potential rather than replace it.
“Fear is natural, but fear cannot be the strategy,” said Reinharz. “In every great transformation there are winners and losers. Winners in this new era will be the ones who act with purpose, learn faster than the competition, and use AI to build smarter, stronger organizations. Those waiting on the sidelines will simply be left behind.”
Reinharz is no stranger to tackling the future of work and the challenges of automation. He previously authored ‘Navigating the New Economy: Jobs & Automation, Challenges & Opportunities’, a comprehensive look at how industries and workers can adapt to automation, and most recently the ‘AIR (Autonomous Intelligent Response) Manifesto’, which explores how AI-driven systems will redefine security and beyond. These works underscore his commitment to preparing businesses and society for the accelerating changes ahead.
Reinharz points out that AI is not just another technology upgrade, but a transformation on par with electricity, the internet, and smartphones. The difference, he emphasizes, is the speed. What once took decades to reshape industries is now happening in months. For individuals, this means skills and adaptability matter more than titles. For businesses, the choice is even starker: embrace intelligent automation to scale and innovate, or risk falling permanently behind competitors who do.
Reinharz concludes that the real threat is not artificial intelligence itself but the failure to act. He urges businesses, investors, and consumers alike to recognize that the future is already unfolding, and the only way to benefit is to participate. “The future does not wait for permission,” Reinharz added. “AI is already shaping our world. The question is whether we will shape it with intention or allow it to shape us.”
