Brian Solis recently presented at KQED in SF in its inaugural Silicon Valley Conversations program, “The New Experts: How Robotics, AI and Automation Are Shaping the Future of Your Work.” Stats: 72% of Americans worry that AI will take over their job and fear that it might make them obsolete. AI will create 2.3 million jobs in 2020 while eliminating 1.8 million (Gartner). When 1 or more industrial robots were introduced into the workplace, 6.2 jobs were eliminated from a local area where people commute for work. (National Bureau of Economic Research) I call this the “Brain Wash,” a play on the Rust Belt. By 2022, one in five workers engaged in mostly nonroutine tasks will rely on AI to do a job. #Creativity is not immune. This is when the WEF estimates AI will replace humans at creative tasks… 2020: poker world champ 2026: write high-school essay 2027: generate top 40 pop song 2029: produce creative video 2049: write @nytimes bestseller 2059: conduct math research And yet… "I think that is so far in the future — in terms of artificial intelligence taking over American jobs — I think we're, like, so far away from that [50 to 100 years], that it is not even on my radar screen.” - Steven Mnuchin #AI will impact every industry. And it is…right.now. Time to #learn and #unlearn. Host: Tonya Mosley, KQED’s Silicon Valley Bureau Chief Speakers: Michael Chui, partner at McKinsey Global Institue Dr. Karen Myers, lab director of SRI International’s Artificial Intelligence Center Brian Solis, Principal Analyst, Futurist, Altimeter, a Prophet Company.

1. “[Automation is] blind to the color of your collar.”
Jerry Kaplan, Humans Need Not Apply

2. AI has moved rapidly beyond the limitations of
simple, repetitive tasks and into areas where a
self-learning algorithm can make decisions with
sufficient certainty. And, it can do this at a speed
and scale that humans simply can’t.

3. AI is already here and it’s
accelerating the fourth industrial
revolution in ways most everyday
people have yet to fully understand.
In fact, you have a government that
is telling citizens otherwise.

4. "I think that is so far in the future — in terms of
artificial intelligence taking over American jobs — I
think we're, like, so far away from that [50 to 100
years], that it is not even on my radar screen.”
- Steven Mnuchin

13. While AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, it’s purpose is to scale human engagement
because no one ever loved an experience with an automated attendant.
