Mr. Creed,
Iâm Matthew Wexler an intern at the Cato Institute and was asked to investigate the impact AI/Automation may have on jobs. As the CEO of Yum!, the third largest employer in the United States, you have uniquely relevant insights and influence on this topic. If you have a couple minutes Iâd love to find out your thoughts on the following questions or any other opinions you have.
1. If it became possible and economically beneficial to automate a large portion of the jobs your employees perform would you pursue that transition? What if it was something your competitors had begun doing?
2. If AI/Automation began contributing to a significant increase in long-term unemployment should the government step in? If so, what should the government do?
