Artificial intelligence (A.I.) and automation will almost certainly strip away thousands of jobs from humans over the next few decades. That's a pressing question--and one that the Brookings Institution recently tried to tackle with an in-depth analysis. Since A.I. will impact certain industries harder than others, those states with high concentrations of those industries may end up powerfully affected. But states with heavy concentrations of knowledge workers and managers could also end up impacted over the long term, thanks to A.I. that increasingly takes over management, programming, and customer service. Washington, California, and the states along the Boston-Washington, D.C. corridor are ground zero for this flavor of automation.
