European Liberal Forum and the Institute for Politics and Society invite you to the round table discussion Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat? – Automation and the Future of Work.
The Czech Republic currently has the lowest unemployment rate across the EU and experiences enormous economic growth. However, as a highly industrialized country with an outstanding automotive industry, it is expected to inevitably feel the vast effects of automation. Therefore, the means are the end; the Czech Republic will need to embrace automation and robotization in all economical areas and subsidize small to large businesses, as well as invest in AI and automatization. As routine jobs disappear, the government faces the challenges of supporting a workforce that needs to become better qualified in order to move into more demanding positions. Certainly, automation will affect all European countries and sharing new experiences internationally will be paramount. The Czech Republic has the opportunity to become a pioneer of policy making in the era of automation. Let us start the dialogue.
