Treasury secretary 'not at all' worried about robots taking jobs

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says he's "not at all" worried about robots displacing American workers, and his definition of artificial intelligence comes from Star Wars. In an interview today with Axios' Mike Allen, Mnuchin said he was unconcerned about the effects of automation, both with physical machines and artificial intelligence. "In terms of artificial intelligence taking over American jobs, I think we're so far away from that that it's not even on my radar screen," he said in response to a question from Allen. "I think it's 50 or 100 more years." When pressed, Mnuchin said that he wasn't talking about things like self-driving cars, which he believes could run from coast to coast in the not-so-distant future.
