Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Won't Eliminate Entirely the Need for Human Workers

Artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and automation will create more jobs than they eliminate. And the people employed in the new work environment must bring higher thinking skills, as well as social and emotional intelligence as technologists, to their workplaces and positions. In the Technologist Talk podcast series, Charles Eaton, Creating IT Futures CEO and CompTIA's executive vice president for social innovation, has referred to this workforce evolution as becoming "technologists, not just technicians." That was the key message shared by Diya Wynn, global readiness lead at Amazon Web Services Inc., during her breakout session at today's Women In Technology Summit Southeast (WITS) held in Raleigh, North Carolina. WITS is the only technical conference that features all women speakers and has programming specifically designed for women technologists working in technical and non-technical roles.
