Although some may feel that AI only came about in the last year, its predecessor, machine learning, has been with us for years. Machine learning and AI have already upended companies and job markets, and they are guaranteed to continue doing so for some time yet. The key is not to think of AI as something from a sci-fi movie, but as a tool much like the computer once was. And like the computer, it’s time to adapt or die.
The computer did away with entire industries and jobs. Calculators used to be people who did calculations for a living. Thousands of typists and typewriter repairmen were laid off with the advent of word processing on computers. So, too, will it be with AI. Any job that can be automated will be automated, and the trend cannot be stopped.
