Abstract Digital technologies are transforming the economy and society. The dimensionality and scope of the impacts are bewildering and too numerous to cover in a single essay. But of all the concerns around digital technology (and there are many), perhaps none has attracted more attention, and generated deeper anxiety, than the impact of various types of automation on work and on the structure of the economy. I focus on the ways in which the digitization of virtually all data, information, and content is transforming economies. And more specifically, I look at the impacts of automation, augmentation, AI, machine learning, and advanced robotics on economic transformations, on work, and on the distribution of income and wealth.

自动化、增强、价值创造以及收入和财富的分配

摘要 数字技术正在改变经济和社会。影响的维度和范围令人困惑，而且数量众多，无法在一篇文章中涵盖。但在围绕数字技术的所有担忧（还有很多）中，也许没有哪一个比各种类型的自动化对工作和经济结构的影响更引人关注，也引发了更深的焦虑。我关注几乎所有数据、信息和内容的数字化正在改变经济的方式。更具体地说，我研究了自动化、增强、人工智能、机器学习和先进机器人技术对经济转型、工作以及收入和财富分配的影响。
