Recommendation

In this smart, casual conversation, futurist Tim O’Reilly and his interviewer, New York Times editor Charles Duhigg, sip wine and map the future. An involved audience keeps the discussion lively as O’Reilly describes a bright tomorrow given the right economic, business and educational reforms. Despite a moment of strong language, getAbstract suggests this talk to business leaders, investors, educators, economists and anyone who fears the rise of robots.

Take-Aways

  • People fixate on how technology eliminates jobs. Society should acknowledge that tech allows companies “to do more,” which is why they succeed.
  • Robots and other technology do only what humans design them to do. The blame for job loss – and the responsibility to improve the future – lands on human shoulders.
  • Business leaders largely use automation to replace jobs, a cost-cutting measure to make shareholders richer. This broken business model impoverishes workers, which threatens the economy.
