There isn't much, if any, dispute that artificial intelligence will eliminate certain types of jobs done by humans, but experts here at the Techonomy conference at the Ritz Carlton Nov. 12 said the threat and solutions aren't well understood. "We see AI changing 90 percent of the work people do, and we think most companies are behind in preparing for that," said Paul Daugherty, chief technology and innovation officer at Accenture. Daugherty, who wrote the book, "Human Machine: Reimagining Work in the Age of AI," is far more positive on the benefits of AI than others who say the technology could threaten our very existence. "In the aggregate, about 15 percent of jobs will be completely replaced, but the majority of jobs will be improved," Daugherty said. "We think about AI as collaborative intelligence and the right approach is to take the best of human skills and combine that with technology. But dialog on that has been absent."
