  • Summary

  • What will happen to our jobs when the robots take over? Kelli and Shoshana navigate the world of artificial intelligence and jobs with R Street’s Resident Senior Fellow for Technology and Innovation, Adam Thierer. An expert on AI, he explains why you shouldn’t worry so much about the robots taking your job.  Kelli also speaks with Dr. Christi Smith who explains why a criminal record shouldn’t always prevent you from getting a job. Instead, more states should look at “clean slate” laws that remove barriers to jobs for those with criminal records. Kelli and Christi discuss the importance of giving people second chances and allowing them to become productive members of society.  (0:06:14) The Impact of AI on Jobs (0:08:45) The Evolution of Technology and Professions (0:12:26) AI and Quantum Computers Enhance Creativity (0:16:21) Truckers Union vs. Driverless Trucks (0:20:26) Retraining in Changing Industries (0:26:41) Technology, Burnout, and Job Security (0:36:00) Clean Slate Laws for Convicts (0:39:27) Jobs for Those With Sealed Records (0:42:28) Clean Slate (0:45:31) Clean Slate Reform
