    Episode 2: The Automation Skill Gap
    Aug 6 2023

    In this episode, Chris and Anna discuss the implications of automation on the workforce, especially as AI capability and other technology starts removing low-skill and manual work.

    Jobs may begin to be inaccessible for significant portions of the population and we will need to have policies in place to fill the gap.

    While many believe in the position of the Lump of Labor Fallacy, Chris and Anna firmly believe that its model is lacking a key variable which is discussed in the episode - making it fallacy fallacy.

    How will this change our governance strategy, our culture, and the way we interact meaningfully in the world?
