The Future of Work: A VICE Special Report (Full Episode)

This is a critical issue, even though it is not getting as much attention in the mainstream and current politics, (other than Yang). It is coming fast and furious. And for those who think this might just be about truckers and factory lines, I have seen some graphs that show that it is actually white collar that will be the most easily impacted by AI replacements and sooner that we expect it to.

One thing I tend to remain skeptical is in regards to the number of jobs that will replace the one's lost and what kind of work that will be. I just don't see this as having a precedence in previous revolutions for several reasons.

The next Industrial Revolution is upon us, and scientists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers are warning of an imminent paradigm shift in the future of work. In partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations, VICE talks to industry leaders and laborers to learn how radical developments in automation and artificial intelligence are set to change the world of work as we know it.

"It's a symphony of machines"

"Humans are amazing and have high judgement, why would we ever want to separate that away from our machines?"

Lot's of questions that are not actually answered. Instead some good talking points, power-point slides.
