How Machine Learning May Change Jobs

Despite a lot of public worry that the AI revolution is going to impact the workforce, researchers report this is likely not to be the case. However, they note, the introduction to machine learning in the workforce could transform the economy as much as the introduction of the steam engine and other technologies did in the past.
