N2 - Some predict that the impact of current waves of automation and robotics on the labour market will substantially be different from the one of earlier waves of technological progress. Due to developments in machine learning, increased computing power, and robotics, many machines may turn from tools into workers and soon outcompete human labour in many jobs. Whether the current developments are as disruptive as some believe them to be is still subject to heated debate. This essay aims to nourish this debate by discussing the state-of-the art of relevant research.
