About this title

Synopsis

These stories explore the ways that artificial intelligence and related technologies will affect the job market. At the moment, no-one can predict exactly what will happen, but it seems very likely that people will need to retrain and change jobs more often. Looking further ahead, we may need to work out how to make technological unemployment a very positive outcome, and with that in mind, this book has twice as many positive stories as negative ones. // All proceeds from this book will go to the Economic Singularity Foundation, a charity established to promote constructive analysis and discussion of the future of work. We hope you will enjoy the stories, but most of all, we hope you will join the debate. // The contributors are (in alphabetic order): // Julia Begbie, Jana Bennett, Irakli Beridze, Margaret Boden, Calum Chace, Alex Chace, Mark Chadwick, Radhika Chadwick, Ed Charvet, Kenn Cukier, Ray Eitel-Porter, Will Gilpin, Ira Goldberg, Will Haynes, Scott Heekin-Cannedy, Daniel Hulme, Arohi Jain, Yolanda Lannquist, Lawrence Lee, Mark Mardell, Odhran J McCarthy, Tim Pike, Ian Poree, Mike Potter, Charles Radclyffe, Shamus Rae, Ethan Shaotran, Adam Singer, John Thornhill, Simon Thorpe, Matthew Wolfman, Roman Yampolskiy
