AI (Artificial Intelligence): An Extinction Event For The Corporate World?

Back in 1973, Daniel Bell published a pioneering book, called The Coming of Post-Industrial Society. He described how society was undergoing relentless change, driven by rapid advances in technology. Services would become more important than goods. There would also be the emergence of a "knowledge class" and gender roles would evolve. According to Bell: "The concept of the post-industrial society deals primarily with changes in the social structure, the way in which the economy is being transformed and the occupational system reworked, and with the new relations between theory and empiricism, particularly science and technology." Among the many readers of the book was a young Tom Siebel.
