Automation Jobs Will Put 10,000 Humans to Work, Study Says

It's going to take a lot of humans to create the kind of artificial intelligence that could replace truckers, financial analysts, and customer service representatives with robots. U.S. employers will spend more than $650 million on annual salaries for 10,000 jobs in AI this year, according to a study from career and hiring data firm Paysa. The 2-year-old firm touts itself as the only platform to use AI to deliver personalized job and salary recommendations. It was founded by Chris Bolte, Zachary Poley, Nikhil Raj and Patrick Harrington -- all formerly of Walmart Labs and Walmart's engineering and product teams. The firm uses millions of data points like job openings, resumes, and compensation to determine the market value of individual skills.
