Overview
Automation is closely associated with the digital. Automated decision making, automated vehicles are are explicit, however the conceptualisation of robotics, the meta, fintech, blockchain also invokes notions of automation. Automation has a deep and contested history. It is embedded with discourses around modernism and industrialisation but also earlier in natural law philosophies concerning the distinguishing features of the human.
