Carl Benedikt Frey - The Technology Trap

Whether society benefits depends on whether technology augments or replaces human labour. Buckle up for a rough ride if AI continues to be more about replacement

Recommended Article

"The Wrong Kind of AI? Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Labor Demand" by Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo

Acemoglu and Restrepo emphasise technology isn’t destiny and how it shapes our economy can be influenced by incentives and regulation. Focusing on AI that leads to automation is a dangerous path to a technology trap.

Another piece around the fear that older workers take jobs from the young - 'Prince Charles problem'. Jobs for older workers doesn't mean fewer jobs for the young just as an increase in female participation rate didn't reduce the number of jobs for men. buff.ly/35vsjws pic.twitter.com/CMzP62Iczb
