Forbes Insights: How Digital Apprenticeships Can Help Employees Thrive In The Age Of AI

Bashing Silicon Valley has become one of the few things both political parties agree on this election cycle. And they have good reason--the artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technology developed by the Valley's best and brightest minds is projected to displace the jobs of between one-quarter and one-third of American workers by 2030. The Brookings Institute estimates that 36 million Americans could have 70% of their work tasks replaced by automation. These alarming figures are attracting the attention of policymakers and politicians alike. Some are calling for a tax on robots. Others believe massive open online courses (MOOCs) are the answer to retraining millions of displaced workers.
