Description
We are in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution led by Robots, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Software, displacing millions of workers from their jobs. The truth is that million more jobs are being lost than created. Massive unemployment could well be the future. Is UBI inevitable, a solution that has to be implemented? Hopefully this book in laying out the pros and cons will make us think more deeply into the subject.
