Andrew Yang Expresses Concern Over Walmart's Plans to Increase Robot Labor [View all] redqueen Oct 2019 OP

Has Yang expressed concern about any other company's use of robot labor? Nitram Oct 2019 #1

Of course. He doesn't call it "robot labor" - that's Newsweek's term. He discusses automation. redqueen Oct 2019 #4

Well, now that you mention it... :) redqueen Oct 2019 #10

Thanks! redqueen Oct 2019 #17

That program has covered that topic at least once more. irisblue Oct 2019 #20

Exactly - it's coming at us faster than most realize. redqueen Oct 2019 #18
