The future of work: Technology, jobs and augmented intelligence

Work as we know it is in a state of flux. Technology is imposing rapid change, and the rise in automation capabilities and artificial intelligence are the chief catalysts. As Salesforce's Futurist, I spend a lot of time forward-thinking and analysing trend data, and have shared my thoughts on what this technological change means for the future of work and how to navigate it. There's a lot of angst in the world right now that the rise of smart technologies are going to disemploy vast numbers of people. I appreciate why there's anxiety, but if we look at history as a predictor of the future, this simplistic idea that'technology steals jobs' is unfounded.
