Does AI represent the end of work as we know it?

When is too much knowledge a bad thing? According to the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers there are about 10,000 publishers of scientific journals worldwide producing some 33,000 active peer-reviewed journals in English, plus a further 9400 non-English journals. Together they publish around 3 million research articles each year. Professor Michael Witbrock of the School of Computer Science at the University of Auckland says, "Every few seconds another paper is published in molecular biology. Humans can't keep up with this. We are missing out on potential medical advances because we can't read our own literature."
