Technology and the Dignity of Work

Artificial intelligence is evolving at an astonishing rate. It's accelerating the long-term process of automation that was begun by the Industrial Revolution two centuries ago. Now, there's a huge potential for this technology to do real good in the world. Think about how technology can transform healthcare and health provision through such things as precision medicine and telemedicine for remote and underserved communities. Think of how it can transform education to reach more students in more regions. Think of how it can help with environmental monitoring and the prevention of illicit activities such as illegal fishing or illegal transfers to tax havens. Think about all of these things where they have great potential to do good.
