What to expect
Artificial intelligence/robotics: Have we opened a Pandora’s Box?
As AI and robotics eliminate jobs across the spectrum, governmental revenues will plummet while the debt increases dramatically. This crisis of limited resources on all levels—underfunded or nonexistent pensions, health problems, lack of savings, and job destruction without comparable job creation—will drive many into homelessness and produce a dramatic rise in violence as we fight over shrinking resources.

Jeff Long, New York Times bestselling author
-
“This is a bellwether for anyone seeking to comprehend the global disruption coming our way.”
