MikeroweWorks Foundation founder Mike Rowe joins'The Brian Kilmeade Show' to discuss how AI and robots threaten white-collar jobs, as the nation faces a need for blue-collar workers. 'UNDENIABLE': Mike Rowe is sounding the alarm about the future of white and blue-collar jobs, and is urging young Americans to rethink their career choices due to threats from artificial intelligence. 'ALL IN': President Donald Trump is going all in on artificial intelligence, with a top Meta executive voicing strong support for his bold strategy. Speaking at a tech summit in Washington, Trump outlined his vision for a future driven by American innovation and secured by global artificial intelligence leadership. INNOVATION BOOST: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in an interview Wednesday that the Trump administration's artificial intelligence plan is poised to boost innovation and AI deployment in the U.S. IMMINENT CRISIS: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned Wall Street executives that bad actors could exploit digital voice ID authentication to defraud consumers by enabling large money transfers, creating what he describes as an imminent fraud crisis. STARGATE OPENS: Oracle and OpenAI have inked an agreement to further develop the Stargate project as part of a broader pledge to expand Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure in the United States.

Mike Rowe is sounding the alarm about the future of white and blue-collar jobs, and is urging young Americans to rethink their career choices due to threats from artificial intelligence. The former star of the shows "How America Works" and "Dirty Jobs" sat down with Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade to discuss the outlook for the U.S. job market amid recent developments from President Donald Trump's administration to invest in domestic energy and artificial intelligence. Trump visited Pittsburgh on July 15 to announce a 90 billion investment in data centers and other energy projects in Pennsylvania. Rowe was also present at the event, dubbed the Energy and Investment Summit, at Carnegie Mellon University.

KIME, the robotic bartender, is a marvel of modern engineering. There is a revolutionary change underway when it comes to making our food and drinks. The advent of robotics, once limited to the fields of industrial manufacturing and the beloved Roomba, is now making a monumental leap into our kitchens and dining experiences. This shift is not just a fleeting trend; it's an evolution reshaping the very fabric of the food and beverage industry. CLICK TO GET KURT'S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK VIDEO TIPS, TECH REVIEWS, AND EASY HOW-TO'S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER KIME is a humanoid bartending kiosk that stands as a testament to the possibilities of robotic technology in food service.

Congress knows artificial Intelligence will impact American jobs, but what should lawmakers do about it? They're not entirely sure, but they are concerned. WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressional lawmakers told Fox News they're concerned about how artificial Intelligence will impact the job market, but were unsure how to approach the issue. "I don't have answers," Rep. Adam Smith, a Democrat, said. "There's no question AI is an incredibly disruptive technology, and we should be closely looking at the implications of it and how best to handle those implications."

Who is winning the race for jobs between robots and humans? Last year, two leading economists described a future in which humans come out ahead. But now they've declared a different winner: the robots. The industry most affected by automation is manufacturing. For every robot per thousand workers, up to six workers lost their jobs and wages fell by as much as three-fourths of a percent, according to a new paper by the economists, Daron Acemoglu of M.I.T. and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University.

THE COFFEESHOP is an engine of social mobility. Barista jobs require soft skills and little experience, making them a first port of call for young people and immigrants looking for work. So it may be worrying that robotic baristas are spreading. RC Coffee, which bills itself "Canada's first robotic café", opened in Toronto last summer. "[T]he barista-to-customer interaction is somewhat risky despite people's best efforts to maintain a safe environment," the firm says.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation sounded alarm bells for many technologists and US workers, fearful that these technological advancements would steal jobs. Soon after, we saw a period of correcting that assumption, with new information reassuring workers that humans would work with robots, and not be replaced by them. The reality will likely be somewhere in between this dystopia and utopia, according to a Thursday report from the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution. The report uses government and private data to develop both backward- and forward-looking analyses of the impacts on automation over the years 1980 to 2016 and 2016 to 2030 across about 800 occupations. SEE: IT leader's guide to the future of artificial intelligence (Tech Pro Research) While automation and AI will affect tasks for virtually every job in the future, as IBM's Ginni Rometty has posited, the impacts on workers will vary greatly, the report found.

Long the prediction of futurists and philosophers, the lived reality of technology replacing human work has been a constant feature since the cotton gin, the assembly line and, more recently, the computer. What is very much up for debate in the imaginations of economists and Hollywood producers is whether the future will look like "The Terminator," with self-aware Schwarzenegger bots on the hunt, or "The Jetsons," with obedient robo-maids leaving us humans very little work and plenty of time for leisure and family. The most chilling future in film may be that in Disney's "Wall-E," where people are all too fat to stand, too busy staring at screens to talk to each other and too distracted to realize that the machines have taken over. We're deep into what-ifs with those representations, but the conversation about robots and work is increasingly paired with the debate over how to address growing income inequality -- a key issue in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. How should Americans deal with it?

"There's no simple answer," said Stuart Russell, a computer scientist at UC Berkeley, an adjunct professor of neurological surgery at UC San Francisco and the author of a forthcoming book, "Human Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control." "But in the long run nearly all current jobs will go away, so we need fairly radical policy changes to prepare for a very different future economy. In his book, Russell writes, "One rapidly emerging picture is that of an economy where far fewer people work because work is unnecessary." That's either a very frightening or a tantalizing prospect, depending very much on whether and how much you (and/or society) think people ought to have to work and how society is going to put a price on human labor. There will be less work in manufacturing, less work in call centers, less work driving trucks, and more work in health care and home care and construction. MIT Technology Review tried to track all the different reports on the effect ...

Amazon announced last week that it will spend $700 million to train about 100,000 workers in the US by 2025, helping them move into more highly skilled jobs. The New York Times observed that with this program Amazon is acknowledging that "advances in automation technology will handle many tasks now done by people." The number of jobs which AI and machines will displace in the future has been the subject of numerous studies and surveys and op-eds and policy papers since 2013, when a pair of Oxford academics, Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne, estimated that 47% of American jobs are at high risk of automation by the mid-2030s. McKinsey Global Institute: between 40 million and 160 million women worldwide may need to transition between occupations by 2030, often into higher-skilled roles. Clerical work, done by secretaries, schedulers and bookkeepers, is an area especially susceptible to automation, and 72% of those jobs in advanced economies are held by women.
