From AwardWinning Financial Times Journalist Sarah OConnor, A Deeply Reported Investigation Into How Ai And Robotics Are Transforming The Way We Work.Automation, We Were Told, Was Meant To Do Away With Dull And Dangerous Tasks, Freeing Us To Pursue More Fulfilling Work. But Ai Now Threatens To Turn Even Creative Tasks Into Dehumanising Labor.Investigative Journalist Sarah OConnor Has Spent The Last Few Years Gathering Stories Of BurnedOut Amazon Warehouse Workers, Orwellian Employee Surveillance Softwares, Ai Job Interviews, Translators Frantically Trying To Keep Up With Machines, And Truck Drivers Endlessly On The Road.As Sarah OConnor Writes, Automation Was Meant To Do Away With Dull, Dirty, Dangerous Tasks. It Was Meant To Free Us Up For More Interesting And Creative Work. So Why Was My Notebook Filling Up With Stories Of Good Jobs Turned Bad, And Bad Jobs Turned Worse? These People Were Not Being Liberated By Machines. Instead, They Were Being Crunched Into Systems Run By Machines And Paced By Machines, In Which Important Concepts Such As Fairness, Intelligence, Even HumanNess Itself, Were Being Quietly Redefined By Machines. And That Left Me With A Question. A Question That Prompted Me To Write This Book. We Think WeRe Robotising Our Work, But What If WeRe Actually Robotising Ourselves?Our Fear That Machines Will Make Us More Robotic, OConnor Argues, Is Not New And Has Its Origins In The Industrial Revolution, When Workers Fought Against The Expectation That They Should Toil Like Tireless Machines. Inspired By Campaigners From NineteenthCentury English Cotton Mills To TwentyFirst Century Swedish Mines, OConnor Lays Out A Path Where We Can Fight For Work That Is More Respectful Of Our Limits, And More Worthy Of The Capacity Of Our Minds.
