FOUNDATION MEETING

The annual Meetings of the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation celebrate multidisciplinary debate and knowledge sharing. This promotion of free and informed discussion reflects the Foundation’s mission to contribute to a more informal society, strengthening citizens’ civic rights and the quality of institutions and public policies.

This year, on 14, 15 and 16 September, the Tropical Botanical Garden in Belém will be the stage for another Foundation Meeting, this time dedicated to work, a polarising theme that gets everybody thinking.

From the impact of technology to the impact of demography, the future of work is one of the most highly debated topics today.

To what extent does labour, as we know it today, have an expiry date? What are the main social, economic and cultural transformations that are changing the world of work? How to guarantee that there is a transfer of experience and intergenerational knowledge in the market? And what are the implications of the uberization of work?

It has long been claimed that, although technological changes would eliminate some jobs, new jobs would be created to replace them in new areas. But today we are not quite as convinced. And the way technology will continue to transform our society and work depends on decisions that our leaders take today.

In this context, and because Work is food for thought, the Foundation has brought together several of the greatest national and international specialists in a number of areas.

FOR THREE DAYS IN , Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, will be THERE WILL BE MUSIC, joined by some of the most acclaimed international THEATRE, DOCUMENTARIES, economists: David Autor, Juan Dolado, Jean DEBATES AND WORKSHOPS, Pisani-Ferry, Martha Bailey and Sérgio Rebelo.

Since 2015, the Tropical Botanical Garden has been part of Lisbon University and it is currently run together with the Natural History and Science Museum and the Lisbon Botanical Garden, which conduct scientific, educational, cultural and leisure activities, in connection with the conservation and appreciation of our heritage and with the dissemination of scientific culture. Tropical science, the memory of the Voyages of Discovery and the role of science and technology in the Portuguese expansion and colonisation coexist at this historic location, with a “strong didactic vocation”, intended to be a “centre for the study and experimentation of cultures”.

KNOWLEDGE AND COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE MAIN STAGE

In his book A Choice of Catastrophes: The Disasters that Threaten the World (1979), Isaac Asimov anti- cipated, with remarkable foresight, a fantastic world of crowdsourcing of information, knowledge and thought:

“There will be a tendency to centralize information so that a request for particular items can tap the resources of all the libraries of a region, or of a nation, and, even- tually, of the world. There will be the equivalent of a Global Computerized Library in which the total availa- ble knowledge of humanity will be stored and from whi- ch any item of that total can be retrieved on demand.”

“Surely, more and more people would take this easy and natural way of satisfying curiosity and the desire to know.

DOCUMENTARY: OS DIAS CONTADOS MAIN STAGE

Most Portuguese were born in an organised society based on stable professional lives. In recent years, however, we have realised that this assumption is changing. A still indeterminate number of professions that we currently know will no longer have any reason to exist. Others will appear, undoubtedly, but “employment for life” is increasingly a mirage.

Os Dias Contados (Numbered Days) is a film that documents unique moments of this historic transition. Changes caused by the new technological revolution hover over the development of the action. These are directly manifested in the lives of the characters and those closest to them, or only announced in a way that can barely be perceived. As in most people’s lives, uncertainties may arise among the younger generation, in the unemployment among the older population or, as a backdrop, through everyday media news.

A film by Ana Sofia Fonseca.

THE WELFARE STATE IN THE AGE OF UBER MAIN STAGE

The emergence of new ways of organising work, whether the digital economy, the network economy or the sharing economy, contributes to a growing dematerialisation of production, of industrial relations and even of work places.

Nick Saval’s book, Cubed, presents the history of work spaces, from offices in 19th-century factories to electric sockets located anywhere, in an activity in which the frontier between work and leisure is fluid. However, the black side of dematerialisation of jobs is that when our office is the cloud, work pursues us everywhere.

“The arrangement that began in the nineteenth-century factory and lived on through the twentieth-century office may end soon; if so, the two-century-long separation of home and work will turn out to have been a historical anomaly. Work will no longer be a place, and home no longer an escape” (Lepore, New Yorker, 2014).

In a world in which employment contracts disappear, and with them the institutions that protect workers, it is necessary to redesign social welfare mechanisms. Fortunately, with complete and accessible information, it is possible to consider programmes tailored to each individual, programmes that they can freely manage throughout their lives and that guarantee appropriate patterns of social justice.

ART: THE LAST REFUGE OF HUMANISM? MAIN STAGE

The isomorphism of Baroque music, particularly that of the Johann Sebastian Bach’s canons, has led to stimulating speculation on the discovery of the mathematical foundations of Bach’s compositions, through both algebraic series and spectral geometries.

In Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, by the mathematician Douglas R. Hofstader, Bach’s composition techniques are refracted by the mathematics of Gödel and the optical illusions of Escher: “... every respect of thinking can be viewed as a high-level description of a system which, on a low level, is governed by simple, even formal, rules... The image is that of a formal system supporting an “informal system” – a system which can, for instance, make puns, discover number patterns, forget names, make awful blunders in chess, and so forth”.

Will computers be capable of reproducing these forms of thought and thus approach artistic creation? Or, in this field, are they condemned to take the role of mechanical monkeys?

He ran away from home at the age of only 9 and lived as a street boy. Drug abuse led him to deviant behaviour and periods of imprisonment. After completing a 10-year sentence, he changed his life, completed secondary education, married and became a father. His hard life led him to believe that he could change direction and be an example to other young people with difficult lives. In 2014 he founded the Academia do Johnson association with the aim of using his life experience to help prevent high-risk situations among young people living in problematic neighbourhoods of Amadora.

TEATRO: 112 - O JANTAR ESTÁ MESMO QUASE STUDIO STAGE

The name of the play “112 - O jantar está mesmo quase” (112 - Dinner’s almost ready) suggests an emergency. In this case, the emergency of three actors, more precisely three recent graduates, who believed in a world of opportunities, but have systematically encountered the opposite: there are no jobs, there is no money and, even worse, there are no signs of change.

Stories cross, frustrations and ambitions meet and they are all found in a space for unpretentious conviviality. A simple, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere that loses shape as the minutes go by and the actors drag up old memories.

112 is the emergency of all those who want to make things happen. 112 is a cry for help. 112 is tales, outbursts and, sometimes, silences that anyone can identify with. 112 is the description of a tough reality that is imposed, every day, on these three characters, on these three, and on so many others, students or actors, on these three, and on so many others, citizens.

112 is the project that is urgently needed … to reflect and to act.

DOCUMENTARY: FORA DA VIDA MAIN STAGE

The film Fora da Vida (Outside Life) - which won the IndieLisboa Festival and several other international awards - uses the theme of “living on a minimum wage” to investigate how its characters spend their time left over after the work that guarantees that salary.

After all, how do they live when they’re not working? How do they spend the money they earn? What dreams do they have? What are their interests? What do they miss? How do they cope with everyday needs? What “luxuries” do they indulge in?

The film follows and crosses the paths of three real € characters, three different people with the same € common denominator: a minimum wage. An € encounter of lives and free time, that isn’t really free. € Or is it? € A film by Filipa Reis and João Miller Guerra. € € €

THE RACE BETWEEN MEN AND MACHINES MAIN STAGE

In 1900, 41 per cent American workers were employed in the agriculture sector. By 2000, this share had fallen to 2 per cent (Author, 2015). This wasn’t because the American diet has become more frugal. Quite to the contrary.

The replacement of stage coaches by trains, of sailing ships by motor vessels or of hoes by mechanical diggers is based on technologies that favour the automation of machinery. For example, mass production in the car industry reduced to vestigial levels the demand for numerous professions related to horses, such as farriers and grooms. Technological innovations at the workplace are designed to save on the use of labour, especially that used in repetitive and easily coded tasks.

What professions are endangered by automation? Is the polarisation of employment limited by Polanyi’s paradox? That is, by the notion that “we know more than we can tell,” which makes it very difficult to specify the rules and procedures of tasks that are carried out by humans tacitly and without any effort.

After all, Google needed 16,000 computers to recognise the image of a cat (New York Times, 2012). And self-driving cars are little more than trains that run on invisible rails - digital maps.

From the wide How to plan the fight against poverty in its different range of reforms presented by the chief economic dimensions in the future? advisor Walter Heller, the new President chose, with undisguised enthusiasm, the fight against poverty. According to Heller, Johnson said: “That’s my kind of program; I’ll find money for it one way or another. If I have to, I’ll take away money from things to get money for people … Give it the highest priority. Push ahead full tilt.”

ONE LIFE, SEVERAL CAREERS? STUDIO STAGE

An hour still has... 60 minutes.

However, it appears that today, more than yesterday, these minutes contain more events, more data, more decisions.

Some call this acceleration. We can also call it change. A change that makes us believe that it is unlikely that a career can be planned and imagined in the way it used to be in the past. With longer lives and technology acceleration, we will witness the appearance of new professions and the disappearance of others.

How many professions will we have throughout our lives? What is the significance of the word ‘career’? Is there a greater challenge for our companies and organisations than preparing for this change? Will this be the transformation that will help us to understand the deep meaning of the expression “study is for life”? How can we adapt to this new world of work?

A CODE OF CONDUCT FOR ROBOTS? MAIN STAGE

In 1942, Isaac Asimov wrote the famous Three Laws of Robotics, in a text entitled Runaround.

The First Law of robotics: “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm”.

The Second Law of robotics: “A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law”.

The Third Law of robotics: “A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws”.

The development of Artificial Intelligence, guaranteeing the increasing autonomy of robots and interaction with increasingly intense and cooperative humans has led to a need to construct a new and complex edifice of ethical regulations.

What threats must be safeguarded? Which responsibilities must be attributed? How to share the benefits of automation?

THE IMPACT OF WORK AUTOMATION MAIN STAGE

In his novel Player Piano, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut described a world in which school-age children are subject, very early in their schooling, to an exam that will determine their fate. Those who are successful in the assessment will be engineers and will design robots. Those who fail the exam will not have a job and will live for ever from money transfers from the government.

Are we converging on this dystopic world? What effects will automation have on earnings distribution? What public policies will be most suited to responding to the impact of automation on labour demand? Should robots be taxed? What tax system would be the best to accommodate efficiency in assigning resources and correcting income inequality? What role should universal basic income play?
