Pew Institute: Will AI and Robotics displace more jobs than they create?
Experts are still divided in this Pew release, but the prospects look bleak.
The positive side is rather contradictory and not-convincing. It goes like this:
- Advances in Technology have historically be a net creator of jobs.
- Ok, maybe it’s different this time, but we will invent new jobs.
- Ok, maybe there won’t be any new job that cannot be automated, but we will redefine our relation with work and won’t need jobs anymore.
Meh ?!?
On the negative side:
- Everybody will be impacted, blue-collard jobs as well as white-collar jobs.
- The disparition of their jobs won’t offer better opportunities to people, but push downwards.
- We have no idea how to control this evolution.
What are they describing there? A new digital displacement that will only benefit the rich and the powerful? Just have a look at the report, it’s a nice must-read.

HBR : Why Germany Dominates the U.S. in Innovation in so many strategic areas
Germany does a better job on innovation in areas as diverse as sustainable energy systems, molecular biotech, lasers, and experimental software engineering. Indeed, as part of an effort to learn from Germany about effective innovation, U.S. states have encouraged the Fraunhofer Society, a German applied-science think tank, to set up no fewer than seven institutes in America.

From digital giant to real world bully? Glassholes Use Google to Destroy a Restaurant’s Rating
« A woman wearing Google Glass was recently asked to remove the computer—infamous for publicized recordings taken by its entitled owners—before having brunch at a popular East Village restaurant called Feast. In retaliation, the diner and her 3,000 plus Google+ followers have extracted a search engine optimized pound of flesh. »
