You and AI - the future of work by Professor Joseph E Stiglitz

AI already supports many of the products and services we interact with on a daily basis, and technological advances are creating systems that can perform increasingly sophisticated tasks. Alongside these advances, come questions about the impact of AI on work and working life, and its implications for society. Will AI systems replace people in the workplace? How might these technologies affect how, where, and why we work? And how might this influence social inequalities?

In the fifth discussion of the You and AI series, Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz will explore the implications of AI for your work and inequality, considering how we can share the benefits of these technologies across society. Professor Diane Coyle CBE, celebrated economist and professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge, will share her thoughts before joining Professor Stiglitz for what promises to be a lively question and answer discussion.

It's frustrating to constantly see a UBI mis-characterized as something that would replace work. The key word is "Basic", it isn't intended to completely replace work or the market economy but instead allow people to survive, most people will still have an incentive to work but more importantly people would have the freedom to do the jobs they wanted to do perhaps volunteer, get further education or innovate in other ways without worrying about being able to buy food.

Confident in any research or other form of advancement by the industry. Now that Britain is no longer a European country the notion of Royal Society does not apply. Perhaps coining a commonwealth slogan for a new British identity would be a sound idea to carry on great work.

I had a friend I tried to explain the driverless trucks are coming. We have" the perfect storm coming". In observation with our current situation we have a segment of society that refuses to embrace change. We are still talking about racial politics from the early 1960's. Also still debating 1865 politics. Those willing to embrace change will make it!

The woke old man is really annoying. Stop talking about income inequality, large corps not paying their fair share, "fair wages, " and getting Trump jokes in and talk more about AI and its effect on economy and work. Long speech, not much said.

Neither one of these speakers could learn to program well enough to get a job if their lives depended on it. They have jobs where they can just talk nonsense and get paid for it. The key is to get a job like that, I guess.

First sentence - polarisation. Second sentence - gender problems. Third sentence - political problems. First paragraph - neo fascism. Wrong forum for neo Stalinist Stieglitz. Stopped watching his outdated claptrap and regressive homilies.
