IBM announced Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014 that it's investing over $1 billion to give its Watson cloud computing system its own business division and a new home in the heart of New York City (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File) Don't technology companies who promote AI as the way forward also have an obligation to retrain our workforce to deal with the coming job disruption? Artificial intelligence, strong and weak, comes with a lot of moral implications. Weak AI (what we have now, Siri, Alexa, Waze, sophisticated IVR systems, etc…) is going to take jobs away from workers. It has been for years, since the very first attempts. If a programmer can predict it, and a computer can do it, eventually companies will stop paying people to do that job.
