Elon Musk: 'A.I. will make jobs kind of pointless' -- so study this

#artificialintelligence

Elon Musk may be a strong proponent of all things tech. But he's far from positive on its implications for the jobs market. In fact, the Tesla CEO says one of tech's great developments -- artificial intelligence -- could spell the end of many jobs altogether. "AI will make jobs kind of pointless," Musk said Thursday, speaking alongside Alibaba's founder Jack Ma at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. Least vulnerable to that job disruption will be individuals who can program AI software, Musk noted, recommending young people go on to study engineering.
