When artificial intelligence in business became public knowledge, there was a general freak out about all of the jobs that would be lost to the robot overlords. If AI assistants wormed their way into marketing and sales departments and could more effectively perform the work of human employees, how many people would be out of a job? To quell everyone's fears, numerous AI experts pointed to the case study about ATM machines in the 1970s. In a nutshell, there was the same general panic when ATM machines were introduced to the banking industry; people believed that bank tellers everywhere would lose their jobs and our world would become a whole lot less...human. Well, they were somewhat right.
