The Reality Of AI

Guest Post by The Zman

Every day, we are told the artificial intelligence is not a science fiction fantasy, but a reality of modern life.

Among those most likely to be affected are cooks, waiters and others in food services; short-haul truck drivers; and clerical office workers.

“That population is going to need to upskill, reskill or change jobs fast,” said Mark Muro, a senior fellow at Brookings and lead author of the report.
