The book shows why this time really is different. Advances in artificial intelligence mean that all kinds of tasks - from diagnosing illnesses to drafting contracts - are increasingly within the reach of computers. The threat of technological unemployment is real. So how can we all thrive in a world with less work? The author reminds us that technological progress could bring about unprecedented prosperity, solving one of mankind's oldest problems: how to ensure everyone has enough to live on. The challenge will be to distribute this prosperity fairly, constrain the power of Big Tech, and provide meaning in a world where work is no longer the centre of our lives.

Abstract/Sommario: Grazie ai progressi inarrestabili dell’intelligenza artificiale, il nostro lavoro è sempre più alla portata dei computer.

Il progresso tecnologico potrebbe portare in futuro a un benessere e a una prosperità senza precedenti.
