“…On the one hand, there are scholars who see the potential of digital technologies to boost productivity and at the same time to improve the quality of jobs and enable social inclusion and integration (Brynjolfsson and McAfee, 2014 ; de Vaujany and Vaast, 2014 ; Autor, 2015 ; Barrett et al, 2015 ; Newell and Marabelli, 2015 ; Hirsch-Kreinsen, 2016 ). On the other hand, there are those who emphasize the risk of replacement of human labor by new technologies, the growth of inequalities, and the intensification of work for the remaining jobs (Ford, 2015 ; De Stefano, 2016 ; Frey and Osborne, 2017 ; Spencer, 2017 ; Constantinides et al, 2018 ; Neufeind et al, 2018 ; Acemoglu and Restrepo, 2020 ; Kellogg et al, 2020 ). Beyond the idea of polarization and the macro-level counting of job gains/losses, what needs to be empirically explored is how people's ways of working and the quality of work are changing due to their exposure to learning algorithms and, more generally, to digital assemblages (Carreri, 2020 ).…”

“…Teknolojinin kalıcı bir işsizlik yaratacağını öne süren ilk iktisatçılardan biri ise Keynes'tir ve bu sorunun ancak çalışma saatlerinin azaltılmasıyla aşılabileceğini belirtmiştir (Keynes, 1931, s. 325-329). Oysa 2008'deki büyük ekonomik durgunluğun ardından istihdamda tam bir toparlanma gerçekleşmedi ve bunun nedenini otomasyonda gerçekleşen ivmelenmede arayan görüşler yaygınlaşıyor (Ford, 2015). Acemoglu ve Restrepo (2018) otomasyonla gelen işsizlik konusunda nispeten iyimser bir çalışma yayınlamıştır.…”

“…İyimser yaklaşım ise makineler ve insan emeği arasında yeni iktisadî dengelerin kurulacağını, zira otomasyona rağmen yeni işkollarının ve gerekli istihdam kaynaklarının tarih boyunca ortaya çıktığını vurguluyor (Acemoglu ve Restrepo, 2018, s. 198). Ford (2015), Bastani (2019), Danaher (2019) gibi fütürist yazarların tekno-ütopyacı analizlerindeki örtük teknolojik determinizm, teknolojinin önündeki engeller ortadan kaldırıldığında bir tür yeryüzü cenneti kurulabileceği inancı şeklinde ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu bağlamda robotlaşmaya övgüler dizilmektedir.…”

“…In this collection, our contributors have not highlighted concerns of an existential nature. Nevertheless, we might fear that, in our quest for crime-free societies, for greater safety and well-being, we will develop and embed ever more intelligent devices to the point that there is a risk of the extinction of humans – or, if not that, then a risk of humanity surviving ‘in some highly suboptimal state or in which a large portion of our potential for desirable development is irreversibly squandered’ (Bostrom, 2014, p. 281, note 1; see also Ford, 2015). Our contributors have not yet recommended that we should follow the example of Samuel Butler's Erewhonians who, fearful for their liberty, destroyed their machines (Butler, 1872) – and who also, of course, inverted conventional wisdom by punishing those who fell ill while, by contrast, treating in hospital and sympathising with those who committed crimes such as forging cheques, setting property on fire or robbing with violence.…”
