Tim O'Reilly's new obsession: How technologies like A.I. are changing the future of work

"I'm really focused on'How do we explore how technology is changing the future of work?'" That may indeed bring efficiency, but it risks making employees seem even more interchangeable and less valuable than they already do. I want people to understand why we need to talk about Uber and Walmart in the same frame." The hopeful scenario is that these new systems remove the drudgery, taking over the repetitive parts of work and liberating people to focus on more creative tasks.
