What does a robot accountant look like?
- al_ramich 8y agoArtificial Intelligence goes further than just being automation through software or robotics. The difference is the 'intelligence' where, at an increasing pace, more complex tasks can be done completely autonomously. Therefore the impact to revolutionize the society and job markets is much more accelerated. As per the article, agree that new type of jobs will be created, think a recent study by PwC projected a net job gain by the impact of AI over the next decade. One thing is for sure, the accountant will look quite different in a decade or two.
- flashgordon 8y agoWe dont know what it looks like, but it definitely sounds and feels like a real one? (FWIW my dad's an accountant so I feel I can make this joke).
- cm2012 8y agoLooks like TurboTax and Quickbooks.
- harperlee 8y agoI don't really understand the fuss about how robots will kill jobs and how to tax them. At the end, they are a form of capital, that enables a company to work; and as such, they are nothing new. What we need to tax better is companies profits, which get taxed less than individuals in most countries (basically for the reason that companies are more flexible and have more means to fight against tax impositions than a salaried person). Then, if some jobs dissapear, and not enough new jobs replace them, you go to the companies that are ammasing wealth and you tax and redistribute that wealth throughout the society (one of the functions of the government).
