Podcast 9 Solving labor shortages with technology and robots

Randall van Poelvoorde on Tech & Robots

What I want to discuss with you today is how artificial intelligence can help us address labor shortages.

Let's start by mapping out these labor shortages. The current labor shortages are demographically based, thus structural and growing. It is simply a fact that the generation currently working is smaller than the previous one. Consequently, as our economies grow rapidly, more people are needed and fewer are available. The shortage of people and labor is indeed a problem that we need to solve. We have partially solved this with immigration and will continue to do so to some extent in the Netherlands, but it will not be enough. Other countries do not even have the luxury of immigration as a solution. Consider, for example, China, where residents of neighboring countries have absolutely no desire to move there, even though labor shortages in China are also enormous.

I invite you to listen to my podcast regularly. We will discuss fascinating technologies and inventions. We will talk about the problems and opportunities. We will ponder what the world could look like. I promise you it will be an exciting, fun, and optimistic journey. A journey full of robots, artificial intelligence, self-driving cars, and sustainable energy. A journey full of questions and answers. A journey full of wonder and astonishment. But also, a journey with a lot of recognition. I am going to create these episodes with great pleasure and I look forward to hearing your reactions.
