Now that the propellor-heads have got AI to the point where it "thinks" sufficiently like a human to be useful, it's going to have an impact on the workforce much greater than robotics.
The fun thing is, instead of forcing the layoff of millions of blue-collar workers, AI is going to take square aim at white-collar workers.
Two of the biggest white-collar sectors who should be studying for their barista qualifications right now are those at banks and insurance companies. Engineering, too, will be changed out of all recognition. Who needs 20 traffic engineers, when you have one computer doing the same job much fast and better than the team of professionals costing $200k each?
Given our slavish devotion to the Friedman Doctrine, companies will be falling over themselves to get rid of people and invest in machines.
Advertising agencies? Who needs 'em? A single AI computer will devise a campaign that works without human input. We know how easy it is to persuade people, thanks to my pal Robert Mercer and Cambridge Analytica.
The next ten years are going to see a complete change in employment dynamics, and white-collar workers are going to be a dying breed.
