If you are reading this on your mobile phone, congratulations – you are a cyborg. Do not worry, we all are. Any tight integration and enhancement of our human cognition with machine-based intelligence are, in a sense, the creation of a cyborg system, scientists argue. And this enhancement is only set to increase, as we continue to augment our brains to be more productive in the future of work. However, although we will all work together with intelligent machines and AI to get the job done in the future, there are degrees to the level in which we will be cyborgs.

With artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning being the next big transformative technologies to take the tech market by storm, it's no surprise that the industry is worried about AI taking over the workplace. By some estimations, AI could replace up to 40% of jobs in the next 15 years. According to a 2018 AI Study by Constellation Research, investment in AI has exploded, rising from 25% to nearly 70% of early adopters to date. Many of these early adopters who support AI and automation believe that they could fundamentally change the workplace. Paranoia about being displaced by machines is growing, and based on the numbers, it may be warranted. But the key to staying relevant in the workplace is to use technological advances in your favor.
