But it misses a crucial change that economists are loth to accept, though technologists have been concerned about it for several years. This is the disturbing thought that, sluggish business cycles aside, America&#8217;s current employment woes stem from a precipitous and permanent change caused by not too little technological progress, but too much. The evidence is irrefutable that computerised automation, networks and artificial intelligence (AI)\u2014including machine-learning, language-translation, and speech- and pattern-recognition software\u2014are beginning to render many jobs simply obsolete.<br \/>\nThis is unlike the job destruction and creation that has taken place continuously since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, as machines gradually replaced the muscle-power of human labourers and horses. Today, automation is having an impact not just on routine work, but on cognitive and even creative tasks as well. A tipping point seems to have been reached, at which AI-based automation threatens to supplant the brain-power of large swathes of middle-income employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Addendum on 11\/22\/11:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Coming-Jobs-War-Jim-Clifton\/dp\/1595620559\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1315850199&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Coming Jobs War<\/strong> <\/a>&#8212; by Jim Clifton<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tuck.dartmouth.edu\/news\/video\/new-data-set-reveals-health-of-us-economy\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>New Data Set Reveals Health of U.S. Economy<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from tuck.dartmouth.edu<br \/>\nProfessor Matt Slaughter talks about a newly released data set that won&#8217;t get much media coverage, and yet paradoxically is one of the most important indicators of the health of the U.S. Economy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Also see: Future of Work Survey Findings: Focusing on the Future? &#8211;&#8211; from thefutureofwork.net How Technology Is Eliminating Higher-Skill Jobs &#8212; from NPR.org by Chris Arnold Difference Engine: Luddite legacy &#8212; from economist.com Excerpt: There is a good deal of truth in that.
