How AI augmentation will fuel net job growth by 2020

The year 2020 will be a pivotal one in AI-related employment dynamics -- Gartner predicts 2.3 million jobs will be created and 1.8 jobs will be eliminated. While AI-prompted employee churn is a new reality, net job growth from AI will cross into positive territory in the coming years as companies evaluate the impact of their long-term AI direction. The main contributor to the net job growth is AI augmentation, a combination of human and AI where each complements the other. AI will improve the productivity of many skilled jobs, eliminate "on the job"-trained positions, and create millions of new positions in highly skilled, management positions, as well as entry-level and low-skilled jobs. Any industry with vast amounts of data -- so much that humans can't possibly analyze or understand it on their own -- can utilize AI.
