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.

    Masters of Money: Now, More than Ever. And Just in Time – Frederick Soddy’s Winning Trifecta

    In this first session of our Masters of Money series, Joe Bongiovanni will engage in a conversation on Nobel laureate Dr. Frederick Soddy’s unique work on the national economy’s broken “wealth-distributing” mechanism via our existing money system, and on society’s need for achieving ecological balance . The talk will highlight Soddy’s relevance by discussing his pioneering contribution on ‘internalizing’ the cost of environmental degradation that is regularly ‘externalized’ in today’s model of Finance Capitalism.

    Joe Bongiovanni is, perhaps uniquely, a second-generation monetary reformer and the former Director of Vermont’s Kettle Pond Institute for Debt-Free Money. Joe is a Founding Member of the U.S.-based Alliance For Just Money (Inc.) and for over a decade Joe has been a regular speaker at the American Monetary Institute’s (AMI) Annual Monetary Reform Conference.
