Not entirely sure about your inferences from my comment, I didn't say there are not going to be jobs, of course there will be jobs. However, perhaps amidst the Artificial intelligence, jobs will require more creative, social , emotional intelligence. Thats where we need to skill up and point I made above was just to highlight that this re-structuring is not just relevant for todays low valued work but for the entire spectrum of whats a super-skill today and going to be "low valued" few years down the line. Also, I'd argue that in the context of your examples (which are slightly digressing from this thread), medicine and movies , reason why we have more doctors and actors could strongly be attributed to the socio-economic growth of the rising population, a lot more people can/need medical service and go to cinema that what we had 1000 years ago. Technology here solves the problem of efficiency and scale which is just complementing the progression.
- visarga 9y agoI'll try another example. Let's say we automate cleaning of cities. Suddenly people are going to want drones that can trim trees and bushes, devices that can clean walls, bots that can scour woods and lakes for plastic and junk, and 100 other things that we didn't have the time and energy to do, but now are possible. Each of these applications need to be designed, produced, deployed and managed. My point is that automation creates new applications, and thus, jobs that sit on top of it. Like SEO - who would have guessed what SEO is 25 years ago? And now there is a whole field. We create new desires, we raise our entitlement to the equal of what we can achieve, no matter how much it is.
