How A.I. will help us quantify workforce production

Today's workforce and automation of key functions is moving us toward an unprecedented level of innovation. One recent study from KPMG found that about three out of every four U.S. tech industry CEOs believe automation and machine learning are likely to replace at least 5 percent of their manufacturing, technology, sales, and marketing workforce by 2019. Yet the same study found that over half of the executives expect their organization's headcount to grow by at least 6 percent. While some big businesses might assume A.I. is their ticket to paying less in labor costs, if we go this route we're selling our workforces short. The human brain possesses something computers still don't: mindfulness.
