At any given time, technology does two things to employment: It replaces traditional jobs, and it creates new lines of work. Machines replace farmers, but enable, say, aeronautical engineers to exist. So, if tech creates new jobs, who gets them? How well do they pay? How long do new jobs remain new, before they become
Technology usually creates jobs for young, skilled workers. Will AI do the same? Read More »

Governance around Physical AI is becoming harder as autonomous AI systems move into robots, sensors, and industrial equipment. The issue is not only whether AI agents can complete tasks. It is how their actions are tested, monitored, and stopped when they interact with real-world systems. Industrial robotics already provides a large base for that discussion.
