CAN AI REALLY CREATE 800,000+ JOBS BY 2021?
THIS REPORT SAYS YES
• http://www.techrepublic.com/article/can-ai-really-create-800000-jobs-by-2021-this-report-says-
yes/?ftag=TREe01923b&bhid=23321323188161054569322732153870
New research from IDC, released by Salesforce, claims that
artificial intelligence (AI) will create 823,734 jobs by the year
2021, surpassing the number of jobs lost to AI technologies
such as machine learning and automation. Additionally, the
report predicted that AI will increase global business
revenues by $1.1 trillion in the same time frame.
The two statistics mentioned above will both come about as
a result of "efficiencies driven by AI in CRM," the report
found. And, if one includes indirect obs, the number of jobs
added by AI jumps to 2 million. "This is a net-positive figure
in that it includes an estimate of jobs lost to automation
from AI," according to the report.

DOWNLOADING
T here are a range of ways this happens, but some of the most common forms of
senior government downloading include:
• Direct offloading of federal or provincial programs and/or responsibilities without
adequate funding or revenue tools;
• Regulatory changes that require spending by municipalities.
• Enforcement of federal and provincial regulations;
• Cancellation of programs and services that are needed or expected by the public;
• Reduction or cancellation of senior government transfers or program funding;
• Programs that are paid for municipally, but where municipalities have little control
over costs;
• Grant-based or 'one time only' funding of downloaded or new programs
encouraged by senior governments;
• Underinvestment by senior governments in infrastructure maintenance, renewal
and replacement; and Failure to adequately address issues or problems that should
fall under provincial or federal jurisdiction

PENSION FUNDING
Funding of pensions is becoming an issue for many cities/municipalities. The latest to come forward has been the city of Houston
- http://www.click2houston.com/news/mayor-turner-to-announce-historic-pension-reform-plan.
The issue has been market returns a pension funds have a portion tied money market investments. Money market investments
are driven by interest rates.
Shortfall in pensions are the responsibility of the municipalities. Municipalities are under pressure as such dealing with shortfalls
in pension plan will be put pressure on taxation as well as delivery of program spending.
Pensions plans also driven by contributions/matching by various municipalities. The problem is that public sector has not moved
enough when it comes to salary/pension reforms - http://www.cfib-fcei.ca/english/article/7114-public-sector-workers-earn-
more-work-less.html
Here are key plans in Canada
• OMERS - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/omers-posts-67-return-in-2015-bolstered-by-
infrastructure-real-estate-assets/article28925778/. OMERS is underfunded by about 10%. OMERS is investing heavily into
infrastructure projects, like transportation systems.
• British Colombia - http://www.fic.gov.bc.ca/pdf/pensionplans/ReportOnPensionPlans2016.pdf - Issues with unfunded
liabilities - https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-US-government-pension-shortfall-overshadowed-by-Social-
Security-Medicare--PR_346878 http://business.financialpost.com/news/fp-street/inside-the-risky-strategy-that-made-
canadas-biggest-pension-plans-the-new-masters-of-the-universe
What needs to happen:
• More regulations over pension funding including risk testing as well as ensure there are plans to make the plans including
solvent.
• Pension/Salaries reforms to close the gap between private and public sector payroll gaps
• Fixing a broken arbitration systems

THIS REPORT SAYS YES • http://www.techrepublic.com/article/can-ai-really-create-800000-jobs-by-2021-this-report-says- yes/?ftag=TREe01923b&bhid=23321323188161054569322732153870 New research from IDC, released by Salesforce, claims that artificial intelligence (AI) will create 823,734 jobs by the year 2021, surpassing the number of jobs lost to AI technologies such as machine learning and automation. Additionally, the report predicted that AI will increase global business revenues by $1.1 trillion in the same time frame. The two statistics mentioned above will both come about as a result of "efficiencies driven by AI in CRM," the report found.
