Toiling with Tech
Conference
August 27th, @University of Tokyo
Which new values could replace current versions of work ethics? What does ethical economic behavior look like under today’s capitalist conditions? Will idleness be the end of democracy? Or will technological advances allow us to create a utopia of leisure?
This event explores the profound impact of AI and robotics on the labor economy. Supported by DWIH Tokyo and Stiftung Mercator, it aims to foster a nuanced debate on the future of labor and technology.
