Machine learning will change jobs

According to Carnegie Mellon University scientists machine learning computer systems will lead to a transformation of modern economies. The analogy used is with steam engines and electricity overhauling economies of the past. The key message is where machine learning and artificial intelligence can outperform a person, then the job that this task relates to will most likely disappear. The more promising news for those who fear machine-dominated society is that not all jobs are expected to be bettered by a'thinking' computer. Machine learning, as one aspect of artificial intelligence, has advanced considerably in the past two years: facial recognition, natural language understanding and computer vision as three examples.
