the automation question
I’m curious as to what the libertarian approach to the handling of the upcoming “next industrial revolution” caused by artificial intelligence, which is becoming more intelligent at exponentially increasing speeds, is.
Artificial intelligence is already extremely smart and accessible. It is incredibly efficient at data processing and can already program a relatively well. In the future it will be able to replace most office workers and programmers who’s primary job is data processing. This will leave many people unemployed. It could however, if handled correctly, be an extremely beneficial tool for humans by, for example, decreasing work hours without laying off employees. How do you think this will affect the economy? How do you want it to be handled, if at all?
