job openings 2016

the end of employment artificial intelligence, robotics,and other emerging technologies will displace laborin the coming couple of decades. the technological displacement issue is getting larger and larger,and bigger and bigger. the technological innovationis creating disruptions in virtually every industry,all at the same time, all over the world. the old economic modelis being radically transformed by automationand artificial intelligence.

a human cannot really compete with something that evolvesas fast as technology. a lifetime employment, being in one place, the economyof consistent labor practices - that's going to be gone very soon. the production of goods is going to be doneby essentially no people. there's no real reason to think that the vast majorityof intellectual tasks

can't be automated as well. we're just going to haveto accept the fact that a lot of our work is not neededto keep the world going. even if it happens to some degree,we need to pay attention. our political systemhasn't always been the best at anticipating long-term change,and preparing for it. in a globally linkedand technology accelerated world, we can't anticipate nearly as well. yeah, i'm worriedabout robots taking our jobs,

but more generallyi'm worried about inequality. all the productivitythat comes from the robot goes to the owners of capital, creating widening inequality. and then we get frustratedthat society doesn't advance at the same pace as technology. humans, and society, needs to evolve. we really need science fiction writersto sit down with economists, and we need to putthese two kinds of thinking together

if we're going to haveany hope of having a pleasant future. if we can get over that bridge,what awaits us on the other side could quite possibly beincredibly promising.
