Taylor Phillips is the founder and managing director of Futureproof Bama. He graduated from the University of Alabama in 2009 and was previously the CTO of AutoGov, where he created algorithms to assess eligibility risk for government assistance programs. The document discusses concerns about the impact of technological unemployment as jobs are eliminated and adoption rates for new technologies are slow. It provides projections from various reports that estimate percentages of jobs that could be displaced by automation and computerization within the next 10-20 years, including 47% of jobs in Alabama and 66% nationally. Tables show the projected change in specific occupations in Alabama from 2014-2024 and their estimated probability of computerization.
