How AI Will Affect Jobs

http://www.zdnet.com/article/artificial-intelligence-and-the-coming-upheaval/

Artificial intelligence has been around for some time now but only in the past few years have people been seeing the impact of it. In the future, more and more people will start to experience how AI will impact their lives. One of the biggest ways is via the job market. AI is only getting smarter and more efficient which means that more and more jobs will end up being replaced by machines. This started way back when with ATMs and now computerized booths that can take orders from people at fast food places. These days, the rise of self driving cars can lead to truck drivers and even taxi drivers being out of jobs. The article does mention that for many jobs, machines might not be able to fully take over, but rather assist people in doing better in their jobs. My IST 402 (Multimedia Big Data) professor showed us a very interesting website called https://www.replacedbyrobot.info/search .People can type in a career and the website will predict and let them know the likelihood of that job being replaced by robots in the future. This can be a bit of a sobering experience for some people with certain careers in mind and also very relieving for others. Regardless of what your job is, I think it is definitely worth checking out just for the sake of learning.
