AI Will Replace 50% of All Jobs in 10 years, Says Tech VC; Should You Worry? - 1redDrop

Artificial Intelligence is a curse and a blessing, depending on what angle you look at it from. On the one hand, the technology firepower AI brings to the table can be extremely useful, like powering our virtual assistants, smart cars, smart homes and so on; but on the other hand, the evolving nature of AI could keep eating into our jobs in a big way. According to Kai-Fu Lee, a venture capitalist, and one of the very few tech minds who has the distinction of working at all three major tech companies – Apple, Microsoft and Google – robots are likely to replace 50% of all jobs in the next decade. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the wave of the future, the influential technologist told CNBC, calling it the "singular thing that will be larger than all of human tech revolutions added together, including electricity, [the] industrial revolution, internet, mobile internet -- because AI is pervasive." He also added that AI will create a huge amount of wealth for mankind, and wipe out poverty in the process. AI will, of course, improve a lot of things that we do.
