Will Europe face mass unemployment without ownership of AGI and robots?
Andrus Ansip strongly disagrees and says:
Despite all the studies, I do not think anybody really knows the degree to which jobs are affected by digital change. I do not believe in the mass unemployment scenario. It is very easy to blame robots. Sometimes people forget that by helping with repetitive or dangerous tasks at home and at work, robots improve daily life. When the Industrial Revolution began in the 1700s, there was concern about the deep-seated transformation that it would trigger. But in the longer term, that transformation and its aftermath created millions of jobs. (2017) source Unverified
