Synopsis

Artificial intelligence/robotics: Have we opened a Pandora's Box?

As AI and robotics eliminate jobs across the spectrum, governmental revenues will plummet while the debt increases dramatically. This crisis of limited resources on all levels--underfunded or nonexistent pensions, health problems, lack of savings, and job destruction without comparable job creation--will drive many into homelessness and produce a dramatic rise in violence as we fight over shrinking resources.
