Пълно описание

Across factories, hospitals, courtrooms, classrooms, and creative studios, artificial intelligence is arriving with a speed and comprehensiveness that no previous wave of automation has matched. The Last Shift takes readers on an unflinching journey through the industries being reshaped, the communities bearing the heaviest costs, and the millions of workers confronting a future that is arriving faster than any preparation has been made for it. From the warehouse running in darkness to the algorithm assessing a criminal defendant's risk of reoffending, from the AI that outperforms radiologists to the chatbot replacing the call centre worker, this book examines not just what automation is doing but what it means for the people inside it. Drawing on economics, psychology, philosophy, and the lived experience of disruption, it refuses both the complacent reassurance that the market will sort everything out and the paralysing despair that nothing can be done. The human costs of this transition are real, concentrated, and unjustly distributed, but they are not inevitable in their current form. The gains from automation could fund excellent care, rebuild broken communities, shorten the working week, and provide the economic security that allows human beings to engage fully with the activities that give their lives meaning. Whether they do depends entirely on the political choices societies make in the next decade. The Last Shift is essential reading for anyone who works, anyone who employs, and anyone who votes in a democracy whose future is being written right now by the decisions made or deferred about the most transformative technology in human history.
