Is AI really taking our jobs? The future of work explained I LSE Research

Will artificial intelligence and automation cause huge unemployment? Is the tech revolution going to deliver on its promises of transformational change to workplaces, the economy and beyond?

We speak to Professor Judy Wajcman to uncover the truth behind the hype, and separate AI myths from reality. Whilst Silicon Valley might have captured our imagination about the future of work, and have its own ambitions for workforce disruption, with a few lessons from history and a refocusing on what matters, perhaps we can rewrite the AI revolution.

Judy Wajcman is Emerita Professor of Sociology at LSE, a Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute and a member of the AI100 Standing Committee: www.lse.ac.uk/sociology/people/judy-wajcman
