In the current age, machines are becoming autonomous and moving ahead in the direction of substituting the workers.
  • Why the rise of the robots won’t mean the end of work: Noting to worry as rise of robots, for sure, won’t mean end of work for the people. Key is to reskill ourselves in related fields. Martin does mention the following, “I do see a future where there certainly is potential for significant unemployment, and even if that doesn’t develop, at a minimum we’re probably going to have underemployment and a continuation of stagnant wages, maybe even declining wages, and probably soaring inequality.”
