I Help Create the Automated Technologies That Are Taking Jobs
You would not know it from the discussions about the economic issues of the nation’s industrial heartland, but manufacturing is at an all-time high in the United States according to a November 2016 Brookings Institution study. This transformation in manufacturing is largely not the fault of NAFTA or a weak Chinese trade policy, but of people like me: engineers and scientists working on new technologies, constantly extending the capabilities of machines, and reducing the need for humans for many tasks. Over the last two decades, I have observed a fundamental change in how we can apply advanced algorithms to sensing and controlling systems—the kinds of technology that enable more sophisticated robotic manufacturing. Those of us who benefit from technological disruption owe these individuals sufficient time and financial support to develop so they can take part in our economy—and our future.
