The research by McKinsey Global Institute adds fresh perspective to what is becoming an increasingly concerning picture of the future employment landscape, reports Fortune.

“We’re all going to have to change and learn how to do new things over time,” institute partner Michael Chui told Bloomberg according to Fortune.In places where labor is cheaper and tech is more expensive, jobs may be less vulnerable than in more developed markets.In the US, it seems it’s the middle class that has the […]

Paradox of automation

Automation isn’t just for blue-collar workers anymore. In other words, automation is not causing persistent unemployment. We work with renowned distributors world wide and are present on all The automated machine labor revealed by this project is a symptom of the emergent autonomous production it documents, revealing the paradox of automation, labor, and value production: the cultural, historical, and aesthetic ruptures between automation and the (traditional) conceptual mappings of human society. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. The Air France The Paradox of Automation’s “Last Mile” My collaborator, Siddharth Suri, and I have spent nearly […]

Embrace the march of the robots – they are more likely to make us richer than redundant, says RUTH SUNDERLAND

Embrace the march of the robots - they are more likely to make us richer than redundant, says RUTH SUNDERLAND

It sounds like the quintessential anti-festive story. An animal welfare charity in San Francisco was accused of using a robot – it looks alarmingly like a giant egg – to clear homeless people off pavements in front of its offices. All was not quite as it seemed.

The sinister egg-bot, supposedly on a mission to socially cleanse the streets of undesirables, turned out to be a robotic crime-buster. And since the robot had been on patrol, break-ins, thefts and assaults had gone down, according to the Silicon Valley firm that made it.

The story illustrates a deep-seated fear about robotics and […]

Plumbers and nurses will be last to lose jobs to robots

All human jobs will be replaced by robots in the future, but plumbers, electricians and nurses will stay in employment the longest, according to an artificial intelligence expert.

U.S author Martin Ford, who has written a bestselling book on robots, warned that soon, humans wont be able to compete with machines in any vocation.

Another Effect Of The GOP Tax Plan

Another Effect Of The GOP Tax Plan

The GOP has passed its tax bill, and the real winners in this major overhaul to our tax system might surprise you. The group that stands to gain the most is not middle-class taxpayers, not the so-called upper 1 percent, and not even the multinational corporations. The real benefits will go to robots. Let me explain. The Republican tax plan is based on the theory of trickle-down economics — the idea that cutting taxes at the very top spurs investment that eventually trickles down to workers in the form of more jobs, higher wages, and greater opportunities.

The critical assumption […]
