Artificial intelligence (A.I.) and automation will almost certainly strip away thousands of jobs from humans over the next few decades. That's a pressing question--and one that the Brookings Institution recently tried to tackle with an in-depth analysis. Since A.I. will impact certain industries harder than others, those states with high concentrations of those industries may end up powerfully affected. But states with heavy concentrations of knowledge workers and managers could also end up impacted over the long term, thanks to A.I. that increasingly takes over management, programming, and customer service. Washington, California, and the states along the Boston-Washington, D.C. corridor are ground zero for this flavor of automation.

Each level is expansive enough to be its own course.

One of the world's top human champions of Go has decided to retire from playing the strategy game professionally, citing AI as a reason he feels he can no longer compete. South Korean Go player Lee Sedol gained international notoriety in March 2016 when he took on Google Deepmind's artificial intelligence AlphaGo. The machine won four out of five matches against Sedol, proving that AI is advanced enough to beat humanity at one of its most complex abstract strategy games. Sedol did not hide his sense of failure after his losses. "I don't know how to start or what to say today, but I think I would have to express my apologies first," he said after the third match.

The advancement of AI and machine learning in providing better healthcare is already on the rise across the UK. Increasingly clinicians are conscious that machine or automation-based healthcare enable a host of benefits due to the many innovative projects that are underway. The NHS' long-term plan has ambitions to drive its digital transformation to maximise the very practical benefits AI can provide. Currently, the main barriers to progress are the difficulties that some innovators encounter when negotiating unfamiliar regulations, lack of clinical safety and efficacy evidence, data curation standards, talent and skills, fear of change and concerns about the impact of working practices and relationships with patients. Despite this, perception is increasingly changing.

The reveal of the ridiculous Cybertruck design last week made me curious about the history of cars. If you look at pictures of cars from the early days (as I, a Normal Person, did last Friday night), you'll see some insane ideas. Before we got to the Ford Model-T that standardized car production, people iterated on a ton of crazy stuff. It took some time for people to experiment and agree on what a car even was, what features it had, and how it needed to work. For example, for a long time in the beginning, quite a few cars ran on steam, until gasoline began to overtake them (thanks in part to Henry Ford's standardization of the assembly line, which made non-gasoline cars harder to produce.) Eventually, all the cars standardized to the form we know today: a closed car, powered by gasoline, with four wheels, four windows, seating 4-8 people. Even the godawful Cyberthing follows this model.
