I think the consequences would be devastating for the working class because industries used to rely on manpower. They relied on hard labor to perform the steps needed to produce their product or service. But when there are increased rates of automation in these processes, less human labor is needed, and that causes many working-class people to lose their jobs to automation. Economically, that may benefit the industry, but for the workers, it would be devastating. Socially, it would cause a lot of uproar because people are losing their jobs. Not to mention, the carbon emissions would go through the roof due to the constant automation of machines and the constant need for electricity and power to keep them running.
