Part 3: Is the government going to save us from an AI jobs ‘tsunami’?

Many of us are considering how we might protect ourselves and our careers if artificial intelligence gets smart enough to do our jobs better than we can.

Although unemployment is low in Australia and we are yet to see an AI jobs ‘tsunami’, economic modelling claims up to a third of Australians could be made jobless because of this technology in just five years.

Listen to Part 1 and Part 2.
