RE: The Idea Economy is coming... are you ready?
Great article! I find your section on AI particularly interesting. In my experience the tech that everyone was worried about 20 years ago hasn't necessarily replaced people in the workforce, but instead acted as a productivity multiplier. For example, a mechanic can now repair a car more effectively with better tools and secretaries didn't become obsolete when Microsoft Office became common in offices everywhere.
Exactly, just added a bit to say that yes the AI etc will take a piece of the pie, but the rest of the pie will get exponentially bigger.
The problem is in the transition, you can't outwork a computer, many people will try though! Once people understand the new rules, there is lots of stuff to do outside the old type jobs I think.
