GENERATION OF AUTOMATION: IS YOUR JOB IN DANGER?

GENERATION OF AUTOMATION: IS YOUR JOB IN DANGER?

Humanity has made great strides in the technical world and, as of late, those strides have begun affecting the livelihood of people directly. Technology, (specifically A.I.) has seen vast advancements in recent years, so much so that for some industries the threat of redundancy is becoming ever more real.

There is a lot of uncertainty and indetermination in productive processes, and mostworkers are required to be able to deal with that uncertainty on top of the bundle of tasks thattheir job may entail. But even the most advanced forms of artificial intelligence […]
