Today we’re talking to Martin Ford, futurist and author of the book Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future; and we discuss the impact automation will have on the labor market in the next 10-20 years, how to think about structuring a society that has far fewer opportunities for employment, how far away we are from creating a fully conscious Artificial Intelligence. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast! Check out Martin Ford's book Rise of the Robots, and check out his Ted Talk!
