AI Weekly: Artificial intelligence will take jobs, but it'll also create new ones

A majority of people think that artificial intelligence will steal jobs away from human workers. In a recent survey conducted by Quartz, more than 1,600 respondents in 84 countries said that half of positions would be made redundant by automation in the next five years. A separate survey conducted by Gallup in the U.S. found that 75 percent of adults believe AI will "eliminate more jobs than it creates." "[AI is] superhuman, and we think [it] will be in every industry [and] replace 50 percent of human jobs," Kai-Fu Lee, founder of VC firm Sinovation Ventures, told CNBC in an interview last April. "It is the decision engine that will replace people."
