"""As we’ve argued before, governments around the world will need to respond more ambitiously to help workers and businesses navigate this change. That means efforts such as shifting the tax burden toward consumption rather than labor, helping entrepreneurs create new businesses that can combine robotic efficiency with human creativity, and reforming patent and immigration systems that belong to an earlier technological era. Because robotic labor will probably worsen inequality by shifting income from workers to owners of capital, governments will also need to rethink how to strengthen their social safety nets. Eventually, as automation advances, even college graduates will find their careers disrupted: Doctors, lawyers and securities traders have all seen some of their work replaced by machines in recent years. (Journalists aren’t immune, either.) """ Nah. If history is any guide, everything will remain just like this forever.
