Machines will put folks out of work. Think tank ITIF has ideas for easing the shock.
Embrace tech: Contra to suggestions to slow job erosion via, say, robo-taxes, ITIF urges uptake of automation to boost productivity, and helping those put out of jobs.
Retrain, don’t support: Rather than paying out universal basic income, says ITIF, re-educating workers and finding them new jobs could keep the economy strong.
Automation could be a net benefit to society. Better to focus on helping the displaced, says ITIF, rather slowing the whole economy to save jobs.
