But the effects of artificial intelligence are likely to be a lot more complex than that. Yes, jobs will be lost, and many people will be forced to learn new skills to keep up in this new environment. But experts say the picture has a surprisingly big silver lining. For one thing, AI opens up opportunities for many new jobs to be created--some that we can imagine and many we probably can't right now. Already, many companies are discovering that they need a range of new workers to keep their smart new world running smoothly--and not just software developers but also managers, operators and artistic designers.
