Study finds stronger links between automation and inequality !!!

This is part 3 of a three-part series examining the effects of robots and automation on employment, based on new research from economist and Institute Professor Daron Acemoglu.

Modern technology affects different workers in different ways. In some white-collar jobs — designer, engineer — people become more productive with sophisticated software at their side. In other cases, forms of automation, from robots to phone-answering systems, have simply replaced factory workers, receptionists, and many other kinds of employees.

Now a new study co-authored by an MIT economist suggests automation has a bigger impact on the labor market and income inequality than previous […]

Jobs that might not exist in 50 years

Jobs that might not exist in 50 years

With more than 40 million Americans unemployed amid the coronavirus pandemic, there are thousands of jobs unlikely to ever return. Whether that’s because businesses will ultimately shutter (or permanently reduce staff) or industries will be reinvented, there are myriad unknowns when trying to chart projections for the economic future of the U.S. economy. A paper released in May 2020 by the Becker Friedman Institute at the University of Chicago projected that 42% of layoffs caused by the pandemic will be permanent .

In addition to fewer jobs being available in certain sectors, other employment sectors as a whole are at […]

If There’s a Robot Revolution Coming, It Won’t Be From Apple

One might think that the world’s first trillion-dollar company would be at the forefront of manufacturing technology, especially when it’s a company that produces billions of dollars in consumer electronics every year, but it seems that as much as Apple has tried to kick off the machine revolution, its been discovering the hard way that humans can still do things on the assembly lines that robots can’t.

A new report from The Information explains how Apple has been trying to build completely automated factories in China for almost eight years now, and yet it’s faced repeated challenges in trying to […]

Covid, hysteresis, and the future of work

Covid, hysteresis, and the future of work

Things have changed so much with Covid-19 that not even the future is what it used to be – or so it seems from all the predictions that analysts are making about the post-Covid world. But why should things change permanently? Things are the way they are for good reasons. If the reasons don’t change permanently, the outcomes won’t change permanently.

Actually, it is more complicated than that. Some socio-economic-political outcomes are governed by what might be called ‘rubber-band dynamics’, others by ‘paper-clip dynamics.’

• When you shock a rubber band – say, pull on it – the shape deforms, but […]
