The Rise of Automation and AI – Curse or Blessing for the Working Class?

Adaptation to technological disruption has always been a defining characteristic of advanced capitalist economies, but are we prepared for what’s coming next – meaning, artificial intelligence and automation? With the release of applications such as ChatGPT and the like, many analysts are indeed asking this question. This panel of three distinguished speakers will discuss the impact of AI and Automation on labor markets and highlight possible policy responses.

    Economy 2.0 - A Conversation with Clive Menzies

    Josh Sidman sits down for a conversation with Clive Menzies. Join them live via Zoom and be part of the discussion!

    Clive Menzies explores the human condition at www.outersite.org, sharing insights from years of engagement with distributed, autonomous, codependent self-organisation (DACSO). This journey took coherent shape with the Critical Thinking project (2012–2019) and continues through collaborations with diverse groups and individuals. Clive’s current focus is on rethinking value as the foundation of organisation and aligning life with the universe’s fundamental principle: love. Living and working alongside like-minded individuals who share a deep spiritual connection to conscious energy makes this way of life not just effortless, but profoundly fulfilling.
