ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
With the current rise of artificial intelligence, automated driving, computer vision, cognitive robotics many have begun to fear that human labor might be obsolete and completely substituted with new intelligent machinery.
The fears mostly come from the fact that robots today automate not only the repetitive motions but are beginning to enter the human creativity domain.
Within this context, Dr. A. Grybauskas shall discuss the historical examples of previous cases where fear of automation was overestimated, will touch upon technological unemployment, and will deliver the current economists’ insights on this matter.
The webinar is beneficial for researchers and government bodies who are responsible for labor market decisions and education, as well as for anyone who is concerned about the future of their career.
