Here at Newsflash Online, we know that there has been a lot of concern from some quarters concerning the potential of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to replace human jobs. A new survey suggests, however, that those businesses that were currently rolling out AI were also more likely to be recruiting people as they did so. The survey, carried out by Dun & Bradstreet at the AI World Conference and Expo in Boston, found that 40% of such companies were adding new jobs and actively recruiting.
