Here's how one of Google's top scientists thinks people should prepare for machine learning

Norvig, a former computer scientist as NASA, sympathized with anyone frightened by the prospect. "It is scary," he said. But just as the internal combustion engine ultimately led to the demise of the stagecoach, and also to millions of new jobs, so will these destructive technologies lead to new opportunities that are now unimagined. "It's easy to see jobs disappearing ... [but] it's hard to see the new jobs that will be invented because they don't exist yet. Young people starting on their career path shouldn't necessarily be discouraged by machine learning, or abandon career aspirations because of it, Norvig said.
