Artificial Intelligence as a Job Creator Rather Than a Job Killer

The rise of the machines is coming. Automation, robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are all being used by many businesses around the world. There has been a logical fear that any or all of these will become job eaters in the future, that millions of people will have to learn new skills to stay employed in the years to come. What if, despite all of these job-killing fears, they actually prove to be jobs-makers? Dun & Bradstreet conducted a survey of attendees at the recent AI World Conference and Expo, and respondents from 40% of the organizations said that their companies actually are adding more jobs as a result of deploying artificial intelligence in their businesses.
