We need to track more than GDP to understand how automation is transforming work

We need to track more than GDP to understand how automation is transforming work | collaboration | Scoop.it

“... measures like GDP and productivity as eternal truths of economics and, indeed, they have proved their worth over time. Nonetheless, some of them are not only reasonably recent inventions, dating from around the second world war, but are designed to measure activity in an economy of mass manufacturing, a sector increasingly being displaced by the information economy as the primary source of global wealth. This means the measures themselves are also increasingly irrelevant.

This is a huge wake-up call for governments and businesses around the world who are proving slow to engage with the changing nature of work and who have tended to hide behind the mantra of “jobs and growth”, as if that will take care of everything. It is a reminder to all of us that we are long way from understanding what the future of work really looks like.

“Productivity is for robots. Humans excel at wasting time, experimenting, playing, creating and exploring. None of these fare well under the scrutiny of productivity. That is why science and art are so hard to fund. But they are also the foundation of long-term growth.”

Pál Kerékfy's insight:

A gazdaság jelenleg elfogadott mérőszámai (GDP, munkanélküliségi ráta, termelékenység) az ipari tömegtermelés idején keletkeztek, és ahogy az átadja a helyét az új technológiáknak, új mérőszámokra lesz (van) szükség, amik a technológiai fejlődést, a mesterséges intelligencia használatát, a szervezeti változásokat és a technológia elterjesztését (technology diffusion) mérik.

 

Örülök, hogy ezt olvasom komoly emberektől (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine), mert már elég régen elegem van a GDP uralmából. Az persze nagy kérdés, hogy hogyan és mikor szabványosulnak majd az új mérőszámok, és valóban az igazán releváns dolgokat mérik-e. A fentebb javasoltakban se látom a legfontosabbakat, az emberek közérzetét és jóllétét.

IT Tech Trends 2016 – Accenture Technology Vision

IT Tech Trends 2016 – Accenture Technology Vision | collaboration | Scoop.it

Today, change must be built into an organization’s DNA.
But how? By empowering the one part of your business that is hard-wired for evolution. Your people.

Pál Kerékfy's insight:

Az Accenture szerint a gépek megbízható munkatársak lesznek. A változást az emberek tudjk véghezvinni, mert mi vagyunk képesek evolúcióra.

According to Accenture's vision, machines will become trusted co-workers. People are the agents of change. People are the key to evolution.
