In an opinion piece titled Disruption or Dispalcement? authors David Beier, Jonathan Krause and Andrew Sullivan consider a centuries-old concern — the fear of technological unemployment — and highlight that future implications of technology on jobs should be considered today. The authors’ specific focus is on the effects on employment through AI, robots and the GIG economy. They point out that revised policy should promote the following: 1) revision of employment and labor laws that are more effective at addressing the issues, such as worker categories, emanating from the flexible, uncharted and growing GIG economy; 2) lifelong education programs, in and outside the classroom. These are encouraged as away for workers to keep up with the rapid pace of workplace technological innovation so that workers maintain useful skills; and 3) tax policy modernization. The authors emphasize the value of socially beneficial worker programs. They suggest expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit and instituting a basic income guarantee pilot program in vulnerable parts of the U.S.
