TMN Update 0022 - Work’s Provocative Future: How to Outwit Those Job-Killing Robots

Truffle Media Update 0022 Show Notes: George Anders presents "Work’s Provocative Future: How to Outwit Those Job-Killing Robots", from the 2018 Dawn or Doom conference at Purdue University, November 5 & 6, 2018, West Lafayette, IN, USA.

What if the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence ended up creating more jobs? That optimistic scenario might have seemed impossible a few years ago. But as this talk will note, a growing body of evidence suggests that new technology will serve mainly to assist existing workers, rather than displace them. (Just ask NFL referees, whose ranks have expanded, instead of shrinking, as the role of instant replay increases.) The key insight: as technology automates our chores, job descriptions in the vast service sector become more intricate, unique and labor-intensive. Most notably, the need for curiosity, creativity and empathy keeps rising. Those three skills are pillars of a full-strength liberal-arts education. They define areas where humans’ unique edge should prove remarkably durable.
