Futurist Adam Dorr on how robots will take our jobs: ‘We don’t have long to get ready – it’s going to be tumultuous’

Futurist Adam Dorr warns that robots and artificial intelligence will dominate the global economy and replace virtually all human labor within the next 20 years. Dorr, a social scientist, has studied patterns of technological change and believes that the current wave of automation will be unstoppable, drawing parallels to how previous innovations like cars and digital cameras disrupted older industries. He says societies urgently need to prepare for this impending upheaval, which he predicts will be tumultuous. Dorr's research team has concluded that by 2045, technology will have replaced nearly all human labor, a transformation that he says will be as significant as the impact of electricity or digital cameras. He emphasizes the need for societies to get ready for this rapid and profound shift in the job market.
