"Automation and Augmentation: Human Labor as Essential Complement to Machines"

by Ebben, Maureen (2020)

Abstract

This chapter examines the nature of work where human labor is a complement to machines and considers its import for social wellbeing. While dominant portrayals about the effects of work automation are often characterized by discourses of fear and hype, these have limited utility.
