@McKinsey_MGI @ChikaObuah This is based on "adapting currently demonstrated technology". While difficult to forecast, what happens as technology rapidly improves over the next two decades?

@joe_atikian @relentlesseco @globeandmail Why do you think it's one of the most automatable? Thru self service check out? Amazon Go tech? There have not been reliable customer friendly technical solutions for this job.

@jeffburnstein @VentureBeat Deloitte study doesn’t really show automation *creating* jobs. Of the highest growth UK occupations cited, only 3/10 are tech-enabled.

@oxmartinschool @carlbfrey . @MFordFuture Did you see this?

[Gerald Huff @geraldhuff]

@qhardy @naresh_sunkara @ken_goldberg @mitsmr Early years is definitely key. These technologies are nascent. I think the concern intensifies over the next couple of decades.

[Gerald Huff @geraldhuff]

@qhardy @naresh_sunkara @ken_goldberg @mitsmr Why do you assume the new categories will employ a lot of human labor? Won't they attempt to use the latest AI/robotics too?

@dw2 What percent of industry revenue is held by top 1000 app makers? You may not have been far off...

@ken_goldberg New occupations are not employing lots of people. Existing occupations are AI/automation targets. That is actually the concern.

@wadhwa And "offices"

[Gerald Huff @geraldhuff]

@mattyglesias are those just artists and athletes or does that include ticket takers, security, people running concession stands, etc?

@MFordFuture well... "Then a human worker can add the windows, doors, plumbing and electrical systems to finish off the build."

[Gerald Huff @geraldhuff]

@NinjaEconomics striking that the last two sectors are among fastest growing in employment and see least income growth

[Gerald Huff @geraldhuff]

@jbarro except labor being shifted to low productivity and low productivity growth sectors

[Gerald Huff @geraldhuff]

@gjovan @cccalum @CNBC what about small disruptive firms that use robots and ai from the beginning. They don't replace, just never hire

Comparing current automation to the Industrial Revolution isn't actually so comforting, https://t.co/xgNU9MaKga
