Descripción editorial
Over the last decade, Europe and most advanced economies experienced a decline in productivity, leading to political unrest and rising uncertainty about the future.
A new production revolution, enabled in part by artificial intelligence (AI), is now emerging, bringing a new wave of technologies, but there are widespread fears that these changes also will bring a big rise in unemployment as machines replace human beings in big numbers.
History tells us that we should not be afraid of industrial change. AI will take over some tasks, but this will not happen all of a sudden and there will be plenty of work left for humans. Restricting or slowing down new technology will not help the world economy. Instead, nations need to help people adjust to more technically advanced jobs, while education should focus more on "21st century skills" such as teamwork and critical thinking. These are our next real challenges.
This is the second essay in the Big Ideas series created by the European Investment Bank.

Exactly what the title suggest.
The author maintains a balance posture between an optimistic and pessimistic view of the possibles outcomes of AI. It’s actually a very nice resume to understand where we are right now. Where we might be in a future learning from the previous tech revolutions, and what we can expect about jobs in the next years. If you don’t know a lot about this field and you care about the points that were mentioned earlier I strongly recommend you this book, short, free, and useful.
