Brews & Views at Half Moon Bay Brewing Co.

Brews & Views welcomes Jerry Kaplan on March 3rd at 6pm

The robots are coming, but whether they will be working on behalf of society or a small cadre of the super-rich is very much in doubt. Driverless cars, robotic helpers, and intelligent agents that promote our interests have the potential to usher in a new age of affluence and leisure — but as Jerry Kaplan warns, the transition may be protracted and brutal unless we address the two great scourges of the modern developed world: volatile labor markets and income inequality. He argues that innovative, free-market adjustments to our economic system and social policies will be necessary to avoid an extended period of social turmoil. Join us for this discussion of his latest book, “Humans Need Not Apply: A Guide to Wealth and Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”.
