The growing use of “artificial intelligence” is now widely discussed. But some implications at a personal level are less obvious. In a recent talk I looked at three of these, with the help of a magical creature. I summarise these in this blog post.
NZ’s Productivity Commission has developed draft scenarios looking at the impact of technological change on the future of work. They want to know if they are useful for considering the future labour market effects of technological change. My initial response is no.
It’s hard to find a way through the forest of forecasts about the impact new technologies will have on work and life. Is it going to be terrible, awesome, same same, all of the above, or something else?
