The photo above shows what the Orlagh-In-The-City Laudato Si’ book club has been reading.
Robots Ethics and the Future of Jobs by Sean Mc Donagh, describes the many positive effects of Artificial Intelligence and robots. It also gives a detailed overview of the potential negative impact on jobs in farming, construction, manufacturing and a range of service industries. In responding to this dilemma, taking an ethical approach, the book considers Universal Basic Income and the need for high-tech companies to pay a just tax. The book is a very good introduction to a topic of increasing concern.
The Laudato Si’ Ecology Group also organises nature walks and is about to restart them. A visit is being planned to An Tairseach Ecology Centre in Wicklow town. This will include an organic farm walk later in the spring. In the meantime, there are many great walks to do in Dublin and Wicklow.
