Neo-Luddism refers to a modern philosophy that fears changes brought about by technological advances. Neo-Luddites worry that technology will lead to job cuts as tasks like nursing and delivery are taken over by robots and drones. They are also concerned about issues like potential misuse of nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, big data, and biotechnology. While Neo-Luddites protest developments like drones and Google shuttles, others argue that technology is inevitable, creates new jobs, and can be regulated to support economic development if developed and applied responsibly.
