Preventing A.I. From Stealing Your Job - Dice Insights

Even if your career survived offshoring and the Great Recession, now's not the time to get complacent: a report from the World Economic Forum predicts that automation and artificial intelligence (A.I.) could eliminate as many as 47 percent of jobs in the U.S. in coming years. Martin Ford, a software developer, entrepreneur and author of "Rise of the Robots," is one of the Paul Revere-esque prophets sounding the alarm about a jobless future. "There's a huge number of jobs at risk, even highly-skilled jobs," Ford said. "We're going to feel the effects within five years, and we'll be fully into the age of A.I. in 10 to 15 years." While there's no "magic bullet" that will protect every human job, taking these proactive steps can better position you and your career to survive a takeover by the machines.
