Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work -- What's The Future of Work?

Technology makes some types of jobs obsolete and creates other types of jobs -- that's been true since the stone age. While in the past, machines have replaced people in jobs that require physical labor, we're increasingly seeing traditionally white collar jobs augmented by machines: financial analysts, online marketers, and financial reporters, just to name a few. Of course, these advances also create new jobs. The electronic computers that we know today, for example, replaced human beings performing the actual calculations, but in the process created all kinds of new types of work. Artificial intelligence seems like it might work the same way, creating jobs for artificial intelligence researchers and slowly displacing all other kinds of knowledge work.
