What are the jobs of the future? How many will there be? And who will have them? We might imagineand hopethat today’s industrial revolution will unfold like the last: even as some jobs are eliminated, more will be created to deal with the new innovations of a new era. In Rise of the Robots, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Martin Ford argues that this is absolutely not the case. As technology continues to accelerate and machines begin taking care of themselves, fewer people will be necessary. Artificial intelligence is already well on its way to making good jobs” obsolete: many paralegals, journalists, office workers, and even computer programmers are poised to be replaced by robots and smart software. As progress continues, blue and white collar jobs alike will evaporate, squeezing working- and middle-class families ever further. At the same time, households are under assault from exploding costs, especially from the two major industrieseducation and health carethat, so far, have not been transformed by information technology. The result could well be massive unemployment and inequality as well as the implosion of the consumer economy itself.
In Rise of the Robots, Ford details what machine intelligence and robotics can accomplish, and implores employers, scholars, and policy makers alike to face the implications. The past solutions to technological disruption, especially more training and education, aren’t going to work, and we must decide, now, whether the future will see broad-based prosperity or catastrophic levels of inequality and economic insecurity. Rise of the Robots is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what accelerating technology means for their own economic prospectsnot to mention those of their childrenas well as for society as a whole.

未來的工作是什麼？會有多少工作？誰會擁有這些工作？我們可能想像——並希望——今天的工業革命會像上一次一樣展開：即使一些工作被取代，更多的工作將會因應新時代的創新而產生。在《機器人的崛起》中，矽谷企業家馬丁·福特（Martin Ford）主張，情況絕對不是這樣。隨著技術持續加速，機器開始自我管理，所需的人力將會減少。人工智慧已經在使「好工作」變得過時的路上：許多法律助理、記者、辦公室工作者，甚至電腦程式設計師都面臨被機器人和智能軟體取代的風險。隨著進步的持續，藍領和白領工作都將消失，進一步擠壓工人和中產階級家庭。同時，家庭面臨著不斷上升的成本，特別是來自兩個主要行業——教育和醫療——這兩個行業迄今為止尚未被資訊技術轉型。結果可能是大規模的失業和不平等，以及消費經濟本身的崩潰。
在《機器人的崛起》中，福特詳細說明了機器智慧和機器人技術能夠實現的成就，並懇請雇主、學者和政策制定者正視其影響。過去對技術擾動的解決方案，特別是更多的培訓和教育，將不再有效，我們必須現在就決定，未來是會實現廣泛的繁榮，還是會出現災難性的貧富不均和經濟不安全。《機器人的崛起》是任何想要理解加速技術對自身經濟前景——更不用說對其子女的影響——以及對整個社會意義的人必讀之作。
