Description
Updated for the unfolding AI disruption, this prescient classic shows how automation is changing the economy, undermining work, and reshaping our lives

A New York Times bestseller and winner of the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award

"Lucid, comprehensive and unafraid . . . an indispensable contribution to a long-running argument."―Los Angeles Times

As artificial intelligence continues to accelerate, what are the jobs of the future? How many will there be? And who will have them? Many highly educated knowledge workers, including attorneys, financial analysts, and even software developers, are poised to be replaced by AI, while robots will increasingly threaten blue-collar jobs.

This new edition of Rise of the Robots includes extensive new coverage of the latest advances in generative AI and robotics and explores what these technologies mean for the job market and economy of the future. How can individuals, and society as a whole, adapt to the changes that are coming? The past solutions to technological disruption, especially more training and education, aren't going to work. We must decide, now, whether the future will see broad-based prosperity or catastrophic levels of inequality and economic insecurity.

Prescient and clearly reasoned, this award-winning book is essential reading to understand what accelerating technology means for us and for our future.
