Today’s discussion comes from our most recent panel discussion, The Rise of Automation and AI – Curse or Blessing for the Working Class? and was recorded in May of 2024. Our discussion was hosted by HGSSS Director of Education, Dr. Ibrahima Dramé, who was joined by Dr. Sandeep Sacheti, Dr. Ansel Schiavone, and Mr. Edward J. Dodson
Dr. Sacheti is an Executive Vice President at Wolters Kluwer.
Dr. Schiavone is an economics professor at St. John’s University.
Mr. Dodson is a faculty member Henry George School of Social Science in New York.
We discussed why AI won’t replace as many jobs as we think, how neoclassical labor models fail to hold up in the real world, and the Georgist perspective on how AI would impact labor throughout the economy.
