Our contribution analyzes the effects of technological dynamics on human work in this phase of profound socio-technical transformation. Taking into consideration research concerning the USA, France, Germany and Italy, it is shown how - "having given a language to machines" - the "anthropomorphic” propensity to consider them more intelligent than humans emerge. Given the enormous existing technical-scientific potential, a growing number of research outline a scenario of the replacement of human work by increasingly "intelligent" machines. The innovative acceleration underway is combined with strong socio-economic and cognitive inequalities in globalized production networks. Consequently, an interdependent and globalized world is experiencing an era of uncertainty and anxiety.
