Relax, artificial intelligence isn't coming for your job

There is a pervasive underlying fear from generations raised on dystopian science fiction that artificial intelligence and robotics will be the undoing of humankind. Eventually, the conventional thinking goes -- even the likes of Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking are on board here -- artificial intelligence will become smarter than the organic variety and terrible things will happen as machines take over the planet. In reality, however, it's much more likely AI isn't going to destroy us -- or even take our jobs. In fact, it's very likely going to help us do our jobs better. Think about that for a moment.
