AI, the cloud and other disruptive technologies? Workplace impact will be subtle, not explosive

Ian Phillpot is the vice-president of Box Canada. There's been a lot of speculation and anxiety about the impact that disruptive technologies will have on the future of the work force. The speculation is fair – technology will have a dramatic impact on the way we work, even 20 to 30 years from now, and nobody knows for certain what the future might look like. However, the anxiety around the impact, and rhetoric that goes along with it, is unwarranted. The impact of artificial intelligence, the cloud, and other disruptive technologies will be much subtler than naysayers suggest.
