Summary

Are jobs requiring high levels of human interaction worth preserving in the age of automation? Can we design machines to achieve something profound – the mutual recognition that occurs when human beings truly "see" each other? CASBS faculty fellow Mitchell Stevens explores these questions with Allison Pugh, author of the 2024 book "The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World." Pugh launched work on the book as a 2016-17 CASBS fellow.
