That is the title of a chat I delivered to the IEET/UMass mission on the way forward for work. You may watch it above. I have a look at the historical past of technological displacement in work and argue that, even when widespread technological unemployment doesn’t occur, automating applied sciences will make work much less helpful for many employees.
I additionally wrote a brief article summarising the important thing arguments from the speak for the Institute of Arts and Concepts. You may learn it here. (Sadly, this text, like most on the IAI web site, appears to be periodically paywalled; in case you are inquisitive about studying the complete textual content, contact me and I’ll ship it to you).
