Thread: The Third Industrial Revolution Will Be Bigger Than the First Two

    Lightbulb The Third Industrial Revolution Will Be Bigger Than the First Two

    We are at the very beginning of a third industrial revolution driven by primitive AIs. The third industrial revolution will be compacted into a shorter time frame than the first two, and its effect on the economy will be more pervasive than the first two.

    Although AI controlled automation will make life easier, it will also involve significant economic dislocation. Self-driving automobiles alone will directly eliminate more than 2 million jobs in the United States. The indirect consequences will be greater, including automobile manufacturing. Self-driving cars will be one of the most visible changes, but it will not stop there. You'll see them in all aspects of shipping and logistics. You'll see them performing many roles in medicine. You'll see them in your house. You'll see them everywhere in virtual spaces. You'll even see them in the military.

    When many people lose their jobs in a short time, what happens? Anybody?

    Look to what happened in the first and second industrial revolutions and then multiple it by 10. What should politicians and government do? If you're smart -- which I doubt -- you'll start thinking about it now.
    There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.

    Abstract of a report on "The Risk of Automation for Jobs in OECD Countries"..

    In recent years, there has been a revival of concerns that automation and digitalisation might after all result in a jobless future. The debate has been fuelled by studies for the US and Europe arguing that a substantial share of jobs is at "risk of computerisation". These studies follow an occupation-based approach proposed by Frey and Osborne (2013), i.e. they assume that whole occupations rather than single job-tasks are automated by technology. As we argue, this might lead to an overestimation of job automatibility, as occupations labelled as high-risk occupations often still contain a substantial share of tasks that are hard to automate. Our paper serves two purposes. Firstly, we estimate the job automatibility of jobs for 21 OECD countries based on a task-based approach. In contrast to other studies, we take into account the heterogeneity of workers’ tasks within occupations. Overall, we find that, on average across the 21 OECD countries, 9 % of jobs are automatable. The threat from technological advances thus seems much less pronounced compared to the occupation-based approach. We further find heterogeneities across OECD countries. For instance, while the share of automatable jobs is 6 % in Korea, the corresponding share is 12 % in Austria. Differences between countries may reflect general differences in workplace organisation, differences in previous investments into automation technologies as well as differences in the education of workers across countries.

    I own a Roomba. We have named her "Oreo." She doesn't talk yet but it's only a matter of time.

We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Edward R. Murrow

    Whatever's coming, at least I know it won't include dirty floors.
