How humans can prepare for an automated workforce - Arria NLG

While many blue collar professions have already felt the ache wrought by automation, white collar professions aren't far behind either. Data analysts, bookkeepers and even journalists aren't safe in their cubicles, and automation has crept into those industries as well. In fact until very recently, so-called "expert" industry professionals -- think doctors, scientists and upper-level management positions -- were a few of the arenas just barely touched by automation and bots. These positions require a human who can draw on their expert knowledge of a subject and take account for the context of a situation to provide insightful results, which makes them difficult to replicate with technology. The problem, of course, is that humans are slow, and vast resources of knowledge can be lost if a human leaves a company or retires.
