Is the evolution of technology led by artificial intelligence (AI) is the threat to a sustainable social development? Are there any threats worse than that? A thoughtful discussion!

"The real danger of the future of work is no so much about robots taking our jobs, but about the continued trajectory of a business-led march against shared prosperity. This is a revolution led by corporate bosses, not robots. Blaming a faceless "technology" is simply a matter of avoiding responsibility for actions taken by humans."

Do we need a different approach to educate human beings - towards shared prosperity through wisdom? Shouldn't this be the focus of all our education systems in order to at least dream about sustainable societies?

"If the present is anything to go by the future will be characterised by further widening inequality, the erosion of working rights, falling employment security and the removal of social safety nets in a system that promotes winner-take-all values."
