Work in the Age of Robots - Mark Mills 

I think his opinion that robots will extend the capabilities of humans, not replace them, is more or less right in the near future, 10 - 15 years. However, when AI will become better, most jobs will be replaced. For example, co-bot can gather information about which situations correspond to which human commands. From that new database can be built and used to train new generation of AI, which will be more independent than the former.

How can someone get to be in his position and still naively believe that the market will solve any problems!

Thanks for uploading a different perspective on automation and AI

Thanks for this

his background is in oil/gas and war. I'll pass on his opinion, but thanks for posting

I watch The Communicators (C-Span) all the time and its is an awesome tv show. The issue here is this guy. Mark Mills claims we are in a productivity deficit. Poppycock, and that be magnanimous, beyond kind. More propaganda by big business. We are in the 1890’s or a new gilded age. Walter Lippmann laid it all out in his book: “Public Opinion” also, Edward Bernays documents in his book how to hoodwink the public with clever word selection and visuals. Its all about how to manipulate emotions. McDonald’s can spend Three billion to automate, but can’t find the money for raising wages for workers. That’s just one example.

This guy should debate Andrew Yang.

someone in this interview doesn't have a lot of imagination :P

👔👔👔So, what's the policy saying about red ties? 👔👔👔

I find his hatred for common sense government action extremely disturbing. Last time automation happened and rendered the vast majority of factory workers obsolete, there were also attempts to at least remedy if not fix the built in problems of the individualist capitalist monetarist system. Of course, none of them got anywhere close to practical implementation, inequality and poverty became rampant, and next thing they knew was 2 consecutive world wars followed by a cold war that came within a hair of nuking humanity into extinction or at least back to the stone age. These disciples of the church of money are still selling the same snake oil and thanks to the lack of long term historical memory, all too many humans still get conned by the same sales spiel generation after generation.

I'm sorry, but that guy doesn't have a clue what he talking about. Automation will take jobs, not only on low-level (drivers, industrial worker ect) but also blue color jobs. Why is he not talking about the AI that replacing loyers? Sales guys, customer support, bank clerks? The number doesn't sound "small" to me..

Where did this guy come from? The Manhattan Institute? Did he make that up? Sounds like a rich guy who’s pretending to be a tech fund manager because the has some individual investment in the tech field. “DaVinci “ is mispronounced and he call the “prostate” a “prostrate “. Ugh!

Dull stuff for duffers!
