Redesigning Life with Automation: Redefining Work, Rethinking Time, and Restructuring Consumption
Automation is disrupting our lives through job losses and accelerated resource depletion. Its real potential though is much different. It is destined to give us freedom of time, increase our wealth without the accompanying stress of work-life, and help reverse the environmental degradation. Powered by technologies like artificial intelligence, IoT and robotics, automation is now forcing systemic changes towards realization of these goals.
‘Redesigning Life with Automation’ takes a systemic look at this exponential phenomenon. It presents a comprehensive framework to leverage automation to address the jobs crisis and reverse the environmental degradation. The book addresses crucial questions like - how would we earn money when most of the economic activity will be automated? How consumption could still be eco-friendly, when there will be virtually infinite production capacity? Would just a few people get the opportunity to work?
This book outlines an automation-powered road map to reclaim life from work and the environment from economics.
…
Some quotes from the
“Creating wealth for society is no longer the preserve of human workforce.”
“We are set to create more wealth than ever but the current economic model will distribute it to fewer people.”
“Soon, it will not be possible to fix the economy by compromising on the environment.”

A thought provoking book. Good commentary on how we reached here and where we are headed with recent technological developments in AI and Automation. But it remains to be seen if resource neutral economic activity is something humans will be able to achieve in time to prevent irreversible environmental degradation which, like automation, also has potential to become exponential.
