Episode description
In this week's interview, we talk about fatalism with respect to the views on the future of work and technology and the change of circumstances that many of us might be finding ourselves in as technology progresses. Are we overthinking things?
Just over a year ago, MIT assembled a Task Force on Work of the Future "in an attempt to understand the relationships between emerging technologies and work and to explore strategies to enable a future of shared prosperity." In light of their recently released 2019 Fall Report, we asked Dr. Elisabeth Reynolds, Executive Director of the MIT Task Force to join us to talk about where we stand on the future of work; and whether or not we should be optimistic or cautious about what lies ahead.
