Philippine Chipmakers are Embracing Automation — and Leaving Low-skilled Workers Behind

I’m reminded of that scene in Hardhome: Game of Thrones when Jon Snow boards the last of the boats fleeing the shore, looking back as the majority of the Wildlings get left behind to the mercy of the White Walkers. Replay of this in the Philippines as progressive early adapters become AI-enabled, whilst those left behind take to industrial action to protect their jobs. We’re all going to have to run to the boats.
