The Future of Humanity: Automation and Utopia



Above is a video of a Zoom talk that I gave to the Oxford PPE society. The talk was about my book Automation and Utopia and I gave an overview of the main claims defended therein. There is a bit of a time lag between the audio and the video at the start of this talk but it corrects itself before too long.
Here is the original description for the talk:
Our world has never changed so much in such a short period of time. One aspect of this is technological progress, with ever more innovative machines doing what we once thought impossible and artificial intelligence doing things of which we had never even thought. John Danaher is an associate fellow at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies and the author of 'Automation and Utopia: Human Flourishing in a World Without Work'.
