“I think the digital revolution is probably going to be as important and transformative as the industrial revolution. The main reason is machine intelligence, a general-purpose technology that can be used anywhere, from driving cars to customer service, and it’s getting better very, very quickly. There’s no reason to think that improvement will slow down, whether or not Moore’s Law continues.

Penso que esta revolução transformadora vai criar uma abundância de mão de obra. Criará um enorme crescimento [da oferta de trabalhadores e máquinas], automatizando muitas indústrias e aumentando a produtividade. Quando se tem esta abundância de trabalhadores, as instituições existentes são afectadas.

I think we are headed for a really important era in economic history. The Industrial Revolution is a pretty good guide of what that will look like. There will have to be a societal negotiation for how to share the gains from growth. That process will be long and drawn out. It will involve intense ideological conflict, and history suggests that a lot will go wrong.”

Gerd adds: totally agreed on the “societal negotiation” on sharing the gains !!
