A Mass Automation Phenomenon is an automation phenomenon that simultaneously eliminates human jobs across multiple economic sectors.
- AKA: Fourth Industrial Revolution, Great Automation, Widespread Automation Event, Universal Job Automation, Mass Technological Displacement.
- Context:
- It can typically accelerate AI-Induced Job Displacement Processes through mass automation simultaneity.
- It can typically overwhelm Worker Retraining Programs through mass automation scale.
- It can typically trigger Economic System Transformation through mass automation disruption.
- It can typically necessitate Universal Basic Income Policy through mass automation unemployment.
- It can often create Social Upheaval Risk through mass automation displacement.
- It can often enable Post-Work Economic Systems through mass automation completeness.
- It can often cause Political System Crisis through mass automation speed.
- It can range from being a Sectoral Mass Automation Phenomenon to being an Universal Mass Automation Phenomenon, depending on its mass automation breadth.
- It can range from being a Gradual Mass Automation Phenomenon to being a Sudden Mass Automation Phenomenon, depending on its mass automation timeline.
- It can range from being a Predictable Mass Automation Phenomenon to being an Unexpected Mass Automation Phenomenon, depending on its mass automation foreseeability.
- It can range from being a Manageable Mass Automation Phenomenon to being an Uncontrollable Mass Automation Phenomenon, depending on its mass automation governance capacity.
