Get ready for your new co-worker – the robot

Sure, robots and intelligent machines are likely to replace jobs in the not so distant future. The situation, though, isn't as dire as some would have you believe, according to Tom Davenport, co-author of Only Humans Need Apply: Winners and Losers in the Age of Smart Machines. The book is due out in May. Instead of stealing humans' jobs, artificial intelligent systems and robotics will help many people do their jobs better. "We have a new generation of technologies and we need to work with them if we're going to be productive and effective," Davenport said in an interview.
