Experts: Jobs Will Be Lost as AI Evolves

Artificial intelligence will change workplaces, transforming how people work, a panel of experts said. The fast-evolving technology could mean pink slips for workers with routine responsibilities -- but not for all workers, the experts said. AI, in the form of robots, virtual assistants and intuitive office machines, will take over repetitive tasks now performed by office staff. This will give them additional time for more important duties. AI "is already transforming a lot of business processes," said Greg Ryan, head of Canon U.S.A.'s information and imaging solutions division.
