He is saying something less controversial that was put through the PR media machine: those without the skills or willingness to work alongside the machines will lose their jobs. If you look at who is saying this, and follow the money (not disclosed here, but a short search away), you'll notice that this is a butcher grading his own meat. Without blinking he further suggests that the U.S. government hold tournaments on anonymized data to crowdsource market manipulation detection. The bias in ML sections are all mealy-mouthed and elitist. Just because you hold a PhD in a technical field does not mean you understand economics, AI futurology, public policy, or ethics. It would be career suicide to stray from the path of the popular safe opinion. So you get language-imperialist terms like "Latinx" instead of "South Americans" to describe Brazilians, claims that automation will favor taking jobs from minorities, that the government should promote women in leadership positions at private companies, and that especially women of color have no access to study computer engineering.
