Abstract:

Automation has increased well-being because it has increased productivity, and most people who have been displaced have been able to find jobs that made better use of their human skills. This cycle may end if machines are developed that can do almost everything better than humans, so that there are few remaining jobs that require human skills. If this happens, continued increases in well-being for the average person will require adjustment of our economic system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

"…some experts say, the capabilities of robots and intelligent machines — computers that can analyze data and act on it autonomously — are improving so rapidly that within 10 years machines could perform nearly half of the work done by humans, and more cheaply"
