Chefs and truck drivers beware: AI is coming for your jobs

by Matt O'brien
 

Robots aren't replacing everyone, but a quarter of U.S. jobs will be severely disrupted as artificial intelligence accelerates the automation of existing work, according to a new Brookings Institution report.

Thursday's report from the Washington think tank says roughly 36 million Americans hold jobs with "high exposure" to automation—meaning at least 70 percent of their tasks could soon be performed by machines using current technology. Among those most likely to be affected are cooks, waiters and others in food services; short-haul truck drivers; and clerical office workers.

I sure hope so. Even trains have engineers.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It appears to be really cold where you are now. How cold is it? Is it "normal" or something else?

I'm in Colorado at the moment. I guess it is cold for here (+17), but for a guy from ND, it's balmy.

Back home, it's even warmer (+27), all temps below freezing but above zero. It's all good.  :laugh:

Oh, I thought it was supposed be about 40 degrees cooler than "normal" in the Dakotas either now or in the coming days. That's a lot cooler...
