Are Worries Over AI's Effect on the Financial Jobs Market Warranted? - BTCNN

A recent study by Fountech has revealed that two-thirds of adults living in the UK are concerned that the Artificial Intelligence industry will leave them redundant and jobless. This statistic should come as no surprise, as anxiety about AI with regards to the job market has been happening for decades now. While people were able to ignore their worries in the past and simply brush it off, doing so is getting harder by the year as AI continues to make strides. Recent developments in areas such as reading comprehension and autonomous driving make it tougher than ever to avoid thinking about AI. While we are still far from having a machine with human-like intelligence, we certainly do have programs and tools which can perform specific tasks with a level of efficiency beyond that of many people.
