Our world is on the verge of historically momentous changes. Technological advances will have all-encompassing implications for almost all human endeavors, from manufacturing and transportation to healthcare, education, and communication. Emerging technologies and their implementation will have a profound impact on the current political system, society, and the job market. The advent of AI and robotics will both pose unprecedented challenges and offer an opportunity to reap tremendous economic and social benefits.

It has become conventional wisdom among economists to think that due to the advancement of AI and robotics blue-collar jobs will be mostly eliminated from the economy. Experts differ on the exact consequences of such a shift, and it is worth exploring both positive and negative sides of the current realignment to gain a better understanding of monumental shifts occurring in our society.
