Unemployment and Automation

Edited by alexei last updated 30th Mar 2015

WORK IN PROGRESS

I'm going to research and explore the topic of unemployment and automation. Questions to be answered:

  • How has automation affected unemployment in the past?
  • Is automation responsible for current unemployment rate?
  • How will automation, and more specifically narrow AI, affect unemployment in the upcoming decades (2015-2035)?

On this page I'll list resources I will use for research, and various tidbits of information I might find relevant. Most of the research will be presented via wiki pages.
