We've always feared technology will kill jobs. What are we getting...wrong? Subscribe: https://freeth.ink/instant-sub....scribe-robotstakingj

Since the dawn of the industrial revolution, fear of automation has been on the rise. From weaving machines to cars to computers, cries about robots coming to take our jobs keep getting louder. But if the robots are taking our jobs—and they are!—then why do there seem to be even more jobs than ever?

In this Freethink Wrong documentary, we look at how the rise of automation has lead to fear that robots will take our jobs, destroy the economy, or lead to mass unemployment. What do you think? Will innovation save us again? Or is AI and machine learning a whole new ballgame? What is the future of work - do we need a universal basic income, or is that bad economics? Let us know what you think the future of work holds in the comments and subscribe for more videos from Freethink. We're a different kind of news channel telling the stories from the frontiers of technological and social innovation. It's like VICE meets a ted talk.
