00:00:00
so there's two general perspectives out
00:00:02
there that I think are useful for
00:00:03
understanding how that automation versus
00:00:05
augmentation debate might be going one
00:00:08
comes from MIT economists donon asoglu
00:00:10
and David otter it's the task-based
00:00:12
approach we think of a job as a bundle
00:00:14
of tasks and we can augment or automate
00:00:17
these tasks within those bundles which
00:00:19
will change the bundles over time
00:00:21
another comes from Folks at University
00:00:23
of Toronto and Stanford Tim bresnahan at
00:00:25
Stanford A J agarwall Avi Goldfarb and
00:00:27
Joshua Gans at University of Toronto
00:00:29
arguing that the change actually happens
00:00:31
at the system level so when there's
00:00:32
enough of a big deal something to invest
00:00:34
in something to change what we do is
00:00:36
reconfigure the entire system and that
00:00:38
new system has got different labor
00:00:40
demands or different Capital demands so
00:00:43
by tracking which companies are making
00:00:44
large changes making big Investments
00:00:47
then reconfiguring what they do we can
00:00:50
start to understand how those new
00:00:51
systems have different supply and demand
00:00:53
Dynamics I think both of those
00:00:55
Frameworks are useful for different
00:00:56
kinds of questions though increasingly
00:00:58
I'm becoming convinced that the systems
00:01:00
view has more to say
