What happens when technological innovation, instead of helping people, displaces them? That’s been a vexing question throughout history and it remains so today. In this podcast, we address the issue with Dr. Carl Benedikt Frey, author of The Technology Trap: Capital, Labor, and Power in the Age of Automation. Dr. Carl Benedikt Frey is a professor at Oxford University, where he directs the program on Technology & Employment at the Oxford Martin School. His academic work has been featured in more than 100 media outlets, including The Economist, Foreign Affairs and The New York Times.
