Artificial Intelligence the Economy and Amnesty: Looking to the Future by the Numbers
Automation and technology will undoubtedly make our lives better. However, in the short and intermediate term...
America faces a considerable domestic policy challenge of retraining and supporting low skilled workers during this time of transition to an automated economy. The issues of amnesty and chain migration are aggravating factors to a greater ongoing problem- the rapid automation of our economy. The debate of amnesty and extension of chain migration has failed to consider exponentially increasing employment disruptions caused by future technological transitions to automation.
Congress and President Trump must consider the impact of any vote for amnesty and “Chain Migration”, particularly on millions of Americans in the middle class and working poor whose transition to an automated economy will require substantial spending on retraining and the social safety net.
The paper, slide presentation reference material are intended to inform policy makers as they make decisions regarding U.S. Immigration Policy and alert policy makers to the need to address the technological revolution reshaping our economy and how we will work in the future. Work, by and large, is not going to disappear.
The “automation revolution” is changing the way we work and the skills necessary to be part of the economy. The question is how we meet that challenge with the finite resources we have on hand. Our decisions on immigration policy must consider our ongoing economic “automation revolution”.
