Popular culture has long stoked fears about machines taking over and wreaking havoc.
Lobbying against regulation of AI and machine learning, and addressing public fears.
It seems to be gospel among tech evangelists that even if AI and machine learning displace millions of jobs, they will also produce new jobs. But I rarely see stats on what are these new jobs that will be produced and how many of them there can really be?
It seems to me that it would take a very creative scenario to claim more job gains than losses from AI.
Also, it seems to me that one of jobs that could most easily be displaced by AI’s and machine learning is being the CEO or CFO of a corporation. How much work is going into AI programs to displace them?
