AI will terminate Australia

In his 2019 book. The Technology Trap: Capital, Labour and Power in the Age of Automation, Carl Benedikt Frey covers the history of the Industrial Revolution and how it affected society:

Frey’s argument rests on the distinction between labour-enabling technologies and labour-replacing technologies. As the names suggest, labour-enabling technologies complement workers, boosting productivity and opening up avenues for new employment, while labour-replacing technologies boot workers out of the labour market entirely, forcing them to re-skill or search for other opportunities.

The Technology Trap serves as a timely reminder that while technological change may benefit everyone over the long […]
