Ep 28 Are Robots Coming For Our Jobs? - The Economics Of Automation

In this week's non-AI generated episode of Nobody Expects the Dismal Science, George and Wyatt tackle the issue of automation, robots, and technology in an effort to quantify what threat their disruption actually poses. They delve into why some popular concerns are overrated, but do discuss important measures policymakers can take in order to mitigate disruption and better ensure everyone can share in the fruits of their increased wealth. Oh, and George may mention why robots will eventually kill us all, too.
