Can AI really create 800,000 jobs by 2021? This report says yes - TechRepublic

New research from IDC, released by Salesforce, claims that artificial intelligence (AI) will create 823,734 jobs by the year 2021, surpassing the number of jobs lost to AI technologies such as machine learning and automation. Additionally, the report predicted that AI will increase global business revenues by $1.1 trillion in the same time frame. The two statistics mentioned above will both come about as a result of "efficiencies driven by AI in CRM," the report found. And, if one includes indirect obs, the number of jobs added by AI jumps to 2 million. "This is a net-positive figure in that it includes an estimate of jobs lost to automation from AI," according to the report.
