Varditag:peatix.com,2016:event-1945612016-08-30T18:30:00SGT2016-08-30T18:30:00SGTAutomation, driven by technological progress, has been
increasing inexorably for the past several decades. Two schools of economic
thinking have for many years been engaged in a debate about the potential
effects of automation on jobs: will new technology spawn mass unemployment, as
the robots take jobs away from humans? Or will the jobs robots take over create
demand for new human jobs?
Professor Vardi will present data that demonstrate that
the concerns about automation are valid. In fact, technology has been hurting
working Americans for the past 40 years. The discussion about humans, machines
and work tends to be a discussion about some undetermined point in the far
future. But it is time to face reality. The future is now.ABOUT MOSHE Y. VARDIMoshe Y. Vardi
