WORKFORCE AUTOMATION
Issue #418
13 Oct 2024
Big week for AI & Automation with the blockbuster launch of Tesla’s Optimus robots. Some impressive demo’s of embodied AI which points to a future where a great deal of front line work (you know, the jobs where we do have a human talent shortage..?) might be performed by $30,000 per unit robots rather than human workers who cost at least that every year. AI is coming for everybody’s work - important we start the conversation on the ‘politics of productivity’ - and who to fairly distribute the gains from automation. H/T to brainfooders Stanislaw Wasowicz and Rob Dromgoole for their respective shares in the online community
