Are High-Skill Occupations "Safe" from Automation? Visier Inc.

New research using AI to match patent language with work shows that AI may reinvent high-skill work sooner than you think. When Amazon first arrived on the scene, books were its early focus for product selection, buyer insights, distribution and pricing. In those early days, retailers typically lamented the plight of bookstores, but relaxed in their conviction that products like clothing, food, jewelry and fashion would be safe. "Obviously," consumers would always want to experience such products by physically shopping, touching, smelling and trying them on. Now, we can see how the disruptive effects of Amazon-like technology transformed virtually every market, more quickly and differently than most anticipated.
