Automation, management, and the future of work

Thursday 12 December 2024, 6.30pm to 8.00pm

The 21st century’s rapid advancements in automation, robotics, and AI have raised concerns about job losses and worker displacement. Yet, history shows that previous automation, like the adoption of tractors in the early 20th century, did not significantly affect overall employment. This lecture will explore how recent automation impacts the labour market and how these effects may differ from past examples. We will also discuss strategies for mitigating potential negative outcomes.
