‘Iron Men’ to Rise in AI-Augmented Business Landscape

A World Economic Forum study projects up to 85 million jobs could be lost to these smart machines. The same study also projects that the new division of labour between humans and machines will create 97 million new roles to offset what was lost. The rise of personal computers, which was predicted to cause massive job losses, created even more jobs (19.3 million) in the US than it destroyed (3.5 million) from 1970 to 2015. In the end, AI will always just be a tool, says Emapta’s Chief Technology Officer.
