# Contested concept: automation

_**What you are reading**: one contested-concept page in Deliberus's deliberation graph. Deliberus maps human reasoning — including claims that are contested, mistaken, or extreme — so that disagreement can be examined precisely. A claim's presence here is not an endorsement: the graph records that someone argued it, how it connects to other reasoning, and how far scrutiny has gotten. The metadata on this page describes the state of that scrutiny, not the truth of the claim._

- **Contestedness**: criterion
- **Diagnosis**: This masks a disagreement about the urgency of labor displacement. If 'automation' is seen as a gradual percentage increase, it suggests a manageable transition. If defined as a binary 'full replacement' event, it justifies the 'seismic' and 'shocked' reactions mentioned in Claims 11 and 34.
