3. Are we doomed?
Katja Grace's team at the University of
Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute
contacted 1634 leading AI academics and
industry experts from around the world to ask
them when they thought intelligent machines
would outperform humans at a variety of
tasks and occupations, and when they would
be superior at all tasks.
A total of 352 experts responded, and the
researchers calculated median dates based on
their predictions.

Predictions
In five years or less, the presumptive judgements around full-
time employment and freelancer will flip completely. Compared
to traditional full-time employment, talent marketplaces will
provide workers with improved earnings opportunities, more
rewarding work, secure benefits, and respected credentials.
Within five years, all industries will have new, dominant leaders
with business structures based on small cores and powerful
ecosystems. Incumbent corporations still carrying the burden of
legacy bureaucratic models will experience rapid deterioration
of market power.
In the next five years, on-demand labor platforms will emerge
as primary drivers of economic growth in developed and
emerging economies worldwide.
By 2022, the traditional purpose of industrial-era corporations
and management models will have been replaced by digitally
