Maintaining Social Well-Being and Meaningful Work in a Highly Automated Job Market (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781799825098)

In mainstream media, there has been wide discussion on what the world will look like when the artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics incursions into traditional human work result in fewer jobs in manufacturing, service industries, and other domains. Turning to automation is a practical endeavor for corporations because of the efficiencies and increased performance it fosters, but these changes have a major impact on humanity. The resulting lack of work has been linked to social ills and human failure to thrive. Maintaining Social Well-Being and Meaningful Work in a Highly Automated Job Market is a pivotal reference source that explores how the world will re-shape as one with less demand for human labor and how to potentially balance how people engage as part-workers and as consumers of others' creations. Additionally, the book looks at how people will co-create meaningful lives at micro, meso, and macro levels. While highlighting topics such as mobile technology, positive psychological capital, and human capital, this book is ideally designed for technologists, AI designers, robotics designers, policymakers, social engineers, CIOs, politicians, executives, economists, researchers, and students.
