The chapter explores the implications of the growing integration of AI and robotics into the workforce, questioning whether it will lead to a golden age or a dystopian era. It emphasizes the transformative impact of these technologies on various industries, with robots taking over tasks from manufacturing and distribution to healthcare and caregiving. The benefits include increased productivity, efficiency, safety, flexibility, cost-savings, improved precision, and enhanced quality of life. However, concerns arise regarding potential job displacement and loss, particularly for low-skilled and low-paid workers. The passage discusses the likelihood of robots replacing up to half of all jobs in the coming decades, posing challenges for reemployment and skills adaptation. The issue of inequality is raised, highlighting that low-skilled workers may be disproportionately affected. The chapter also touches on the societal disruptions, identity crisis, and potential resistance that could emerge due to widespread automation. Various policy prescriptions are proposed to address these challenges, including investing in education, training, and reskilling, implementing a universal basic income (UBI), guaranteeing jobs, exploring job-sharing and reduced hours, and considering a tax on robot labor.
