Will artificial intelligence destroy capitalism?

March 11, 2017

I recently took part in an episode of Think: Digital Futures, on ‘Will artificial intelligence destroy capitalism?’:

There’s no doubt that artificial intelligence is going to be smarter than humans — they’re already driving cars and sorting files for us. So if no job is safe from AI, how do we make money? Will capitalism as we know it still exist?

Presented and produced by Cheyne Anderson and Ellen Leabeater, they interview Paul Mason (Journalist & Author of Post-Capitalism: A Guide to Our Future), Gigi Foster (Economist, UNSW) and myself.
