jobs: This dystopian picture of busy machines and queues of jobless Britons was replaced this month by a rosier view from PwC, which made the opposite claim robots and artificial intelligence could create as many jobs as they destroy, which happens to be around 7 million, according to The Guardian. Then the University of Oxford said 35% of UK jobs could be automated, while a 2017 McKinsey report warned 5% of UK jobs were highly automatable. Robots threatened 15 million UK jobs, he said. The MIT Technology Review has identified at least 18 different predictions about automation. It's about the detachment from history and real life stemming from a disastrously narrow education that allows economists to make such claims, and the damage that does to public debate about important matters. This article is not about robots, AI or even the debate raging over the impact of Brexit.
