Check out this conversation between Robin Hanson and Martin Ford on the future of the American economy and the role of intelligent computers and robots<\/a>. The primary question tackled: Will rapid technological innovations aid American workers, or will it render large numbers of American workers obsolete?<\/p>

Nice quote from Hanson:<\/p>

\"When machines are really powerful and can do lots of things you only need to own a few machines to be able to own a lot and survive and be prosperous and wealthy. So, once machines are so good that people can't compete with them we will have a vastly [more] prosperous world where we have all these productive machines and owning some of these machines will be enough. We need to make a smooth transition so that people start to buy capital so that they can own these machines and be productive and wealthy.\"<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>

The episode is from the PBS show, \"Ideas in Action\", which in this segment features a half hour discussion about information technology -- in particular robots\/AI -- and its impact on the future job market and economy. The show will air on PBS stations beginning this Sunday, but is available online now.<\/p>
