The Work of The Future, Building Better Jobs in An Age of AI and Intelligent Machines by David Autor

Building on findings from the multiyear MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future, the book argues that we must foster institutional innovations that complement technological change. Skills programs that emphasize work-based and hybrid learning (in person and online), for example, empower workers to become and remain productive in a continuously evolving workplace. Industries fueled by new technology that augments workers can supply good jobs, and federal investment in R&D can help make these industries worker friendly. We must act to ensure that the labor market of the future offers benefits, opportunity, and a measure of economic security to all.
