Harold Jarche has posted a brief review of “Only Humans Need Apply” by Thomas H Davenport 
In his review Harold has added the main attributes that he sees as being needed to meet the book’s criteria for human adaptation to a world of automation:
- Step-up: directing the machine-augmented world (creativity)
- Step-in: using machines to augment work (deep thinking)
- Step-aside: doing human work that machines are not suited for (empathy)
- Step narrowly: specializing narrowly in a field too small for augmentation (passion)
- Step forward: developing new augmentation systems (curiosity)
I challenge any UK-based educator or politician to identify where we are systematatically encouraging those attributes in our young people.
