Later we collectively have always recovered and found new ways to trade time for money but much like how evolution works, individuals don’t always fare well when the environment changes.
- douglaswlance 8y agoThe primary way we adapted to automation in the Industrial Revolution is with public education. When AI starts really affecting the human job market, we will see advances in AI and VR education that will fill the gap by teaching humans with methods that will be more effective than any in history. Imagine one-to-one instruction with an intelligent AI that has access to all of human knowledge with infinite patience and works for peanuts. Then pair that with total immersion VR and you have a compelling education platform for training just about anything.
