Artificial Intelligence and the Not So Distant Future

AI will likely replace tasks rather than jobs in the near term and will create new jobs, but the new jobs that will be created are harder to imagine in advance. As AI becomes more ubiquitous in the workplace, its effects will emerge ranging from small amounts of replacement or adjustment in tasks or processes, to complete replacement. For example, AI technologies applied to legal information has automated portions of entry-level lawyer's jobs but has not automated the job of a lawyer. By 2030, a diverse array of job-holders from radiologists to truck drivers to gardeners may be affected.
