Will Democracy Survive Big Data and Artificial Intelligence?
Posted by Derick Lee in categories: economics, information science, robotics/AI, transportation
One thing is clear: the way in which we organize the economy and society will change fundamentally. We are experiencing the largest transformation since the end of the Second World War; after the automation of production and the creation of self-driving cars the automation of society is next. With this, society is at a crossroads, which promises great opportunities, but also considerable risks. If we take the wrong decisions it could threaten our greatest historical achievements.
We are in the middle of a technological upheaval that will transform the way society is organized. We must make the right decisions now.
