Event
Kevin LaGrandeur on Surviving the Rise of Machines
March 29, 2017
1:30 PM – 2:30 PM
Join us on Facebook Live for a discussion with NYIT Professor Kevin LaGrandeur, Ph.D., about the very real threat of robots and computers on American jobs, the topic of his op-ed published in USA Today.
“Alleviating the worst effects of technological unemployment will require radically new approaches to economic policy,” offers LaGrandeur.
Reforms might include a universal basic income, a shorter workweek, and a mechanism for paying individuals when personal data is used by technology firms to turn a profit.
