Will advances in robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning put vast swaths of the labor force out of work or into fierce competition for the jobs that remain? Or, as in the past, will new jobs arise to absorb workers displaced by automation?

The question is how to proceed in the face of profound uncertainty about the future impact of automation on jobs.
