AI, progress and happiness pt.2: the fall of (menial) jobs - Starttech Ventures
In the first post of this series, I've written my thoughts about the rise of Artificial Intelligence, and how it will serve as an enabler for ever greater progress. In this one, I deal with its (hopefully) short-term implications. As we've seen, despite all current impressive technological advancements, jobs and professions that call for increased inventiveness and creativity, will remain under human control in the foreseeable future. Even more so for jobs where emotions and empathy play a great role. The same cannot be said for the kind of job, whether manual or mental, that requires little or no creativity.
