DUALITY (Volume 2 - Work): Prepare Yourselves and Your Children for the Age of Artificial Intelligence

With each passing day, the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence keep increasing. It is a double-edged sword that improves our daily lives and solves humankind’s greatest challenges, while presenting certain perils. The greatest of these perils by far is the one posed to the world of work.

Today, AI is technologically capable of performing half of all human tasks at work. By the end of the century, everything that humans can do, AI will also be able to do. What will happen to jobs between now and then?
Will Artificial Intelligence "augment" all humans, allowing them to focus on useful and pleasant tasks, and enabling everyone to thrive? Or will we experience, as in previous industrial revolutions, initial chaos followed by an even more dynamic period of prosperity? Alternatively, under the irresistible influence of AI, will work gradually disappear, leaving a dramatic economic and social situation reminiscent of the darkest dystopias? Or might a new social model perhaps emerge, ushering in a harmonious and thriving post-work society?

Current jobs will undergo a radical change at unprecedented pace and magnitude: this much we can take for granted today. The impact will start being felt tomorrow, not at the end of the century. Which jobs will disappear? Which ones will stay? Following what patterns? What will the future of work look like? What are the guidelines for career choices that should be kept in mind right now?

This second volume of the "Duality" trilogy answers all these questions about the future of work and employment. A general public book for thinking audiences, its objective remains to empower you and your children to prepare for the age of Artificial Intelligence.
