26. “The effects will be different in different economies (which
themselves may look different from today’s political
boundaries). Driven by revolutions in education and in
technology, the very nature of work will have changed
radically—but only in economies that have chosen to invest in
education, technology, and related infrastructure. Some classes
of jobs will be handed over to the ‘immigrants’ of AI and
Robotics, but more will have been generated in creative and
curating activities as demand for their services grows
exponentially while barriers to entry continue to fall. For many
classes of jobs, robots will continue to be poor labor
substitutes.”
JP Rangaswami, chief scientist for Salesforce.com

27. “Just today, the guy who drives the car I take to go to
the airport [said that he] does this job because his
last blue- collar job disappeared from automation.
Driverless cars displace him. Where does he go?
What does he do for society? The gaps between the
haves and have-nots will grow larger. I'm reminded of
the line from Henry Ford, who understood he does no
good to his business if his own people can't afford to
buy the car.”
Nilofer Merchant, author of 11 Rules for Creating Value in the
Social Era
