About this Event
A tsunami of change is sweeping the economy as robots and AI threaten to take over tasks done by humans. While we worry that we’re robotizing our work, what if the real risk is thatwe’re robotizing ourselves?From university graduates interviewed by software to warehouse workers surrounded by robots, journalist Saran O’Connor heard stories of work becoming lonelier, less creative, less human. But she also found hopeful stories of jobs being made better, safer and more enjoyable where workers haven’t rejected the new tools, but instead have learned to control them.Exploring questions of power, design, institutions and ideas, WeAre Not Machines reveals how we can fight for work which is more respectful of our limits, and more worthy of our minds.
