In this week’s podcast, we talk through Chapter 4 of my book Technology vs Humanity, entitled “Automating Society”.

This chapter includes questions such as, ‘what is the future of work?’ and ‘what should be automated?’ – or, more accurately, ‘what should NOT be automated?’

We’ll also take a deep dive into the 5A’s: Automation, Assentation, Abdication, Aggravation, and Abomination.

In the words of American poet John Berryman, “the possibility that has been overlooked is the future”. Most of us are far too busy coping with present challenges to explore the future in any depth – and when we do our own cravings and fears often run away with us, resulting in utopias or dystopias that are not very helpful in terms of planning and decisions. Today’s professionals, leaders and their organisations need a dedicated, passionate long-term understanding of the future if they are to successfully navigate the exponential waves of change. For countless individuals and organizations that intelligence is called Gerd Leonhard.
