A Displacement Condition is an economic condition that determines when AI systems dominate human work domains.
- AKA: η_AI ≤ 1/q² Condition, AI Displacement Criterion, Automation Condition, Labor Replacement Threshold, Work Substitution Condition.
- Context:
- It can typically be expressed as genius cost curvature inequality (η_AI ≤ 1/q²) with routine threshold.
- It can typically predict routine work disappearance in labor markets.
- It can often trigger structural unemployment in affected sectors.
- It can often influence labor share of income trajectories.
- It can range from being a Weak Displacement Condition to being a Strong Displacement Condition, depending on its stringency level.
- It can range from being a Sector-Specific Displacement Condition to being a Universal Displacement Condition, depending on its domain scope.
- It can range from being a Gradual Displacement Condition to being a Sudden Displacement Condition, depending on its transition speed.
- It can range from being a Reversible Displacement Condition to being an Irreversible Displacement Condition, depending on its permanence level.

- Example(s):
- Legal Work Displacement Condition, such as:
- Manufacturing Displacement Condition, such as:
- ...
- Counter-Example(s):
- Augmentation Condition, which enhances rather than replaces human work.
- Complementarity Condition, which requires human-AI collaboration.
- Skill-Biased Technical Change, which shifts rather than eliminates work.
