Automation Nation - Policy Trends in AI, UBI and the Politics of the Essential Worker

In this podcast Ben talks to us about the implications and effects of current government interventions in combating the economic effects of Covid, how these effects have impacted trends in AI and Automation, the politics of the essential worker and how this is likely to impact our view of the state and its social contract. 

Ben is currently the Director of Communications for the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice an organisation that works with companies to champion fairness, equality and effectiveness across systems of punishment and incarceration. Previously Ben was responsible for conceiving and growing Chatham House's Future of Work initiative consisting of annual conferences and workshops aimed at bringing a keen policy focus to developing trends in the future of work and their implications.
