Shaping a positive world as we move into a “post-work economy”
The New York Post has just published an article titled Prepare for a world without work, based on an interview with me.
Below are some excerpts from the article delve into what I describe as the “post-work economy”, with some further comemnts:
Driverless cars are set to make millions of truckers and taxi drivers redundant and automated fast food service is poised to shut off a key job sector for young people. As artificial intelligence is increasingly able to carry out complex tasks that used to require humans, large numbers of us are set to find ourselves out of work, with no prospects.
“Many jobs will be destroyed,” futurist Ross Dawson told news.com.au. “We can no longer be sure we’ll have a sufficient amount of the right type of work for people to be employed.”
