Automation has significantly impacted jobs and the economy over time. While it initially takes away some jobs, it leads to an increase in new types of jobs and a higher overall employment rate. For example, while only 2% of Americans now work on farms compared to 40% in 1900, more people have jobs today. Automation has enabled new industries and more consumer products while increasing leisure time and work-life balance. However, preparing for future automation remains important to ensure new jobs are created that humans are still needed for.
Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology Research at the Pew Research Center, spoke on May 10, 2017 to the American Bar Association’s Section of Science and Technology Law about the rise of the Internet of Things and its implications for privacy and cybersecurity. The velocity of change today is remarkable and increasingly challenging to navigate. Rainie discussed Pew Research Center’s reports about “Digital Life in 2025” and “The Internet of Things Will Thrive by 2025,” which present the views of hundreds of “technology builders and analysts” on the future of the internet. He also highlighted the implications of the Center’s reports on “Americans and Cybersecurity” and “What the Public Knows about Cybersecurity.”
Government For The People, By The People, In the 21st CenturyTim O'Reilly
My joint keynote with Jennifer Pahlka of Code for America at the Accela Engage conference in San Diego on August 5, 2014. We talk about current advances in technology, and how they call for anyone developing services to put their users at the center. In particular, we talk about how these lessons apply to government. Making government work by the people and for the people in a 21st century way is central to restoring faith in government.
Queen's University Course: FILM 260 Summer 2017: Flipbook project on how social media contributes to cyber crime and methods that can be used to prevent and avoid it
People are slowly beginning to realize that the times, they are a-changing. When it comes to the future of work and automation, it’s not a question of how, but when. We usually only react when it’s already too late. But this time, the writings on the wall are too overwhelming to just ignore them.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that you should stock up on guns, build a shelter and prepare for Skynet. But it’s probably a good idea to at least start considering the idea that things might change faster than you think. And in the end, we would hate to say we told you so. So start preparing right now with these 6 crucial tips to survive the second machine age.

World Government Summit on Open SourceTim O'Reilly
PDF of slides and notes from my keynote at Acquia's World Government Summit on Open Source in Washington DC October 11, 2012. I talk about how open source enabled the internet as a platform, and how it can enable government as a platform. I talk about examples from the internet and from Code for America's work with cities. I crib shamelessly from some of Jen Pahlka's talks about Code for America, and some of the lessons that can be taken from her work.

Key themes and learnings from SXSW Interactive 2017. Topics include the impact of social media, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, and blockchain on culture and society.
With thousands of sessions, a packed exhibit hall floor, hundreds of party and networking opportunities, and dozens of ancillary activities, this year’s SXSW Interactive, which took place March 7-11 in Austin, Texas, was a place ripe for curiosity and exploration. To paraphrase one panelist: SXSW is a living, breathing manifestation of the Internet and culture.
This report highlights 10 overriding themes from the 21st annual festival, based on on-the-ground reporting, input from JWT and Digitaria colleagues in attendance and secondary research.

Towards a New Distributional EconomicsTim O'Reilly
A talk I gave on December 1, 2017 for a workshop on AI and the future of the economy organized by the OECD and the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy. In it, I explore implications of AI and internet-scale platforms for the design of markets, with the goal of starting a conversation about what we might call "distributional economics."
I talk about the evolution of digital content into services, the role of sensors in the future of the web, about the idea of man-machine collaboration in internet services, and about the role of social networking in building content.
Technology and Trust: The Challenge of 21st Century GovernmentTim O'Reilly
My talk at the 2013 Social Innovation Summit. Democracies get their strength from the people’s trust. When the interactions that people have with government are so divorced from how they live their lives, or are hard and unpleasant, what does that do to the trust that underlies our democracies? At Code for America, we try to restore trust in government by building interfaces to essential government services that are simple, beautiful, and easy to use.
We take four approaches: 1) we work directly with government officials (at the local level) to create the capacity inside government to build innovative solutions to hard problems; 2) we build communities of technologists and citizens who want to lend their skills to help build their governments; 3) we build tools that make citizen interactions with government easier, simpler, and more elegant, so that the experience of government is positive and breeds trust. 4) We incubate and accelerate civic startups to create new
economic models for those tools.

Automation and digitisation are set to impact on many areas of work and livelihoods in developing countries and there is an urgent need for robust empirical work to address this issue. Participants at the 2017 Digital Development Summit, convened by IDS, called for research institutions to create cross-cutting partnerships across disciplines, geographies and sectors both to develop research and to play a brokering role in relation to solutions.
This seminar will be a space to discuss key issues and debates and explore the role IDS researchers might play in developing this research agenda.
AI and Robotics are already here. Are we ready to embrace the reality of its impact on the future of jobs and the Workplace? What are the jobs that are likely to become redundant?
