‘New York Times’ tech columnist Kevin Roose says we’ve been approaching automation all wrong. “What we should be teaching people is to be more like humans, to do the things that machines can’t do,” he says. We talk about misconceptions about A.I, how algorithms decide who gets government assistance, and which jobs are less likely to be automated. His new book is ‘Futureproof.’

  • Today, by random incident, I discovered this your website and the audio article “How to ‘Futureproof’ Yourself In An Automated World”. Fully listening to the author Kevin Roose’s observation and grievance about the prevalence artificial intelligence, I must say he is alert but among a shrinking crowd of such people, who are unable to push back the technological tidal wave, till the system crumbles or all humanity together realizes the dangers. Until either outcome, we are all just happy lotus eaters.
