Experts used to say a free market is the best way to run an economy. And for years, workers enjoyed the benefits of technology. Technology added jobs and higher income for workers. But another word for technology is automation. And now, some experts see technology as a threat to workers.

It was said robots would create a larger economy that would benefit all. Now, experts see a growing gap in income. Less-educated workers are falling further behind.

There are other threats. The economy is now a global enterprise. Off-shoring production has caused workers to lose their jobs as factories in the richer countries closed. The jobs went to low-wage countries. Also, trade unions that helped workers in the past are much weaker now.

But technology is the bigger threat. Artificial intelligence is the way machines will replace humans. A.I., as it is known, has the goal of thinking and performing like a human. There are times when A.I. does things people cannot do as well. There are other times when A.I. replaces workers. Sometimes there are few gains to society.

For example, see the self-checkout counters at supermarkets. The stores now need fewer workers. But there is no gain for customers in prices.

It is not people with college degrees who face the most loss. It is the workers who have less education. Over time, the gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots" is growing. That is what worries economists.

For big business, the future is clear. Invest in technology. Should a company outsource production overseas? Or should it invest in automation in the U.S.? it might make sense to look to automation.

Machines are cheaper than people. There are heavy taxes on wages for workers and employers. Companies often receive tax incentives to buy machines. They also do not get sick, take vacations or retire on pensions.

Experts are not sure about what to do. They agree that education and better job training are one direction to go. Some point to the auto industry. A strong manufacturing base produces jobs in car sales, advertising, accounting, and financial services.

Technology can also help people do their work rather than replace them. Practical computing examples include databases, spreadsheets, search engines, and digital assistants.

None of this changes certain facts. Schools and employers have to rise to the challenge. Some huge tech companies, such as Google and Facebook, are facing attacks on their business models. Privacy and misinformation are real concerns.

What kind of incentives will change some of their approaches to work? Experts say they should find ways to use A.I. to help workers, not replace them.

There currently is no clear path to future prosperity for less-educated workers.
