The Robots Are Coming!: The Future of Jobs in the Age of Automation
暫譯: 機器人來了!自動化時代的工作未來

Oppenheimer, Andres, Fitz, Ezra E.

商品描述

Staying true to his trademark journalistic approach, Andr s Oppenheimer takes his readers on yet another journey, this time across the globe, in a thought-provoking search to understand what the future holds for today's jobs in the foreseeable age of automation.

The Robots Are Coming centers around the issue of jobs and their future in the context of rapid automation and the growth of online products and services. As two of Oppenheimer's interviewees -- both experts in technology and economics from Oxford University -- indicate, forty-seven percent of existing jobs are at risk of becoming automated or rendered obsolete by other technological changes in the next twenty years. Oppenheimer examines current changes in several fields, including the food business, legal work, banking, and medicine, speaking with experts in the field, and citing articles and literature on automation in various areas of the workforce. He contrasts the perspectives of "techno-optimists" with those of "techno-negativists" and generally attempts to find a middle ground between an alarmist vision of the future, and one that is too uncritical. A self-described "cautious optimist", Oppenheimer believes that technology will not create massive unemployment, but rather will drastically change what work looks like.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

保持他標誌性的新聞報導風格,Andrés Oppenheimer 帶領讀者展開另一場旅程,這次是環遊全球,進行一場引人深思的探索,以了解在可預見的自動化時代,當今工作的未來將會是什麼樣子。

《機器人來了》圍繞著工作及其未來的議題,特別是在快速自動化和線上產品與服務增長的背景下。Oppenheimer 的兩位受訪者——來自牛津大學的技術和經濟專家——指出,現有工作的四十七%在未來二十年內面臨被自動化或其他技術變革取代的風險。Oppenheimer 檢視了幾個領域的當前變化,包括食品業、法律工作、銀行業和醫療,並與該領域的專家進行對話,引用有關自動化在各個工作領域的文章和文獻。他對比了「技術樂觀主義者」和「技術悲觀主義者」的觀點,並試圖在對未來的警告性視角與過於不加批判的視角之間找到一個中間立場。自稱為「謹慎的樂觀主義者」的 Oppenheimer 認為,技術不會造成大規模失業,而是會徹底改變工作的樣貌。
