Are Computers Making Society More Unequal?

There are three main reasons inequality is here to stay, and will likely grow.

The first is just measurement of worker value. We're doing a lot to measure what workers are contributing to businesses, and, when you do that, very often you end up paying some people less and other people more.

The second is automation-especially in terms of smart software. Today's workplaces are often more complicated than, say, a factory for General Motors was in 1962. They require higher skills. People who have those skills are very often doing extremely well, but a lot of people don't have them, and that increases inequality.

Third is globalization. There's a lot more unskilled labor in the world, and that creates downward pressure on unskilled labor in the United States.

Today, the human-plus-machine teams are better than machines by themselves. It shows how there may always be room for a human element.
