A growing number of people think their job is useless. Time to rethink the meaning of work 越来越多的人认为自己的工作毫无用途，是时候重新思考工作的意义了 A great deal has been written in recent years about the perils of automation. With predicted mass unemployment, declining wages, and increasing inequality, clearly we should all be afraid. 近年来，自动化所带来的风险不断被提及。显然，我们应该为此感到恐惧，因为人们预言，自动化会造成大规模失业，减少工资，以及加剧不平等现象。 By now it’s no longer just the Silicon Valley trend watchers and technoprophets who are apprehensive. In a study that has already racked up several hundred citations, scholars at Oxford University have estimated that no less than 47% of all American jobs and 54% of those in Europe are at a high risk of being usurped by machines. 如今，观察员和科技预言家们已经不再只忧心于硅谷的趋势了。一项研究已经取得了上百个例证，牛津的学者们估计至少有47%的美国岗位和54%的欧洲岗位会被机器取代。 |
