While the review wasn’t comprehensive, its findings indicate the transition from human employees to AI workers won’t be as swift as many pundits have predicted.
A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and IBM recently published research that could help to assuage some of the fears surrounding the eventual artificial intelligence (AI) employment takeover.
Experts have long surmised that AI could (and likely will) replace humans in the workforce. One recent study estimated that around half of all jobs currently being performed by humans could be automated.
But the new research out of the MIT-IBM Watson AI lab shows that such automation could come at a premium cost, which employers might not be willing to pay.
