The latest Vice News special for HBO, The Future of Work and Automation, is diving into the world of automation and artificial intelligence and how these advances will fundamentally change the future of all workplaces and society as a whole. VICE News correspondent Krishna Andavolu hosts, with contributions from correspondents Gianna Toboni and Michael Moynihan.

The special examines how entire industries are already being disrupted and the ripple effects these changes are creating across the global economy. The VICE team sits down with a wide variety of experts, including Nobel Laureate economists, CEOs, and the workers whose jobs are poised to radically change in the years to come.

Viewers will learn about the new reality for industries that did not expect to be impacted by these advances. Once thought to be immune from automation industries like fast food, contract law, and long-haul trucking are rapidly being automated, with workers replaced by AI and algorithms. The Future of Work takes a look at proposed solutions to anticipated problems such as adopting a universal basic income or focusing on job retraining.

The Future of Work also examines how policymakers are taking on the issue and addressing the dangers that come with AI. The main concern is the potential to destabilize entire industries and societies. To learn more VICE sits down with policymakers and politicians, including Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin and 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang.

The informative and fascinating special airs on HBO April 19th at 10 pm.
