Full Unemployment is the Goal! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My beloved mentor, Dr. Jim Dator, one of the founding ‘fathers’ of futures studies, used to love to say (when speaking of AI): “Full unemployment is the goal!” This was in the early 2000’s, when AI was still quite theoretical.

Read excerpt
