5 Years to a New World: AI and the Future of Jobs -- Pure AI

By 2022, artificial intelligence and related technologies will change the jobs people do and the people who do the jobs. Anyone who believes the Fourth Industrial Revolution powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is still off in some distant science fiction landscape needs to take a gander at Future of Jobs Report 2018 by the World Economic Forum, based in Switzerland. The report based on a survey of executives at more than 300 global companies finds that the workplace is expected to change dramatically between 2018 and 2022 by four technologies: "ubiquitous high-speed mobile internet; artificial intelligence; widespread adoption of big data analytics; and cloud technology." In five years the report predicts business will be expanding their current adoption of IoT. "Machine learning and virtual reality are poised to likewise receive considerable business investment," the report states.
