Rise of the Robots: Technology and
the Threat of a Jobless Future
Book Signing
Martin will be signing
copies of his book in the
Bookstore (Hall 2 Trade Show)
immediately following
his presentation.
Martin Ford explores the ways in which “robots” and other technological
advances are outpacing humans in all kinds of sectors, from education to law
to agriculture to healthcare to management and beyond. He offers a realistic
view of what the future of work—and your place in it—will look like. This next
industrial revolution, Ford argues, will not be like the last one. Increasingly, new machines will be
able to take care of themselves and fewer jobs will be necessary. But there will be opportunities as
well. His presentation is both an exploration of this new technology and a call to arms to address
its implications.
