1) Machines can attend to vastly more information and more
complex processes than human beings
2) Many jobs will be automated but drive human capital to
higher-order, non-routine cognitive creative work
3) Augmented Intelligence where machines & humans work
together will become pervasive.
3 Key takeaway points
AI is changing way people work and interact

But people who make over $350,000 also can get replaced by AI
http://www.techinsider.io/high-salary-jobs-will-be-automated-2016-3
By 2026, Nadler thinks somewhere between 33% and 50% of finance employees will lose their jobs to
automation software. As a result, mega-firms like Goldman Sachs will be getting "significantly smaller."

Machine learning will have a big impact on three areas of medicine:
• Dramatically improve the ability of health professionals to establish a prognosis
• Displace much of the work of radiologists and anatomical pathologists
• Improve diagnostic accuracy
#AI about to make some of the highest-paid doctors obsolete

Tech CEOs declare this era of #AI
Ginny Rometty “ in ﬁve years, cognitive AI will
impact every decision made” from healthcare
to education to ﬁnancial services
1) Algorithms and software libraries (e.g.,
TensorFlow, Torch ) have become, by and large,
open source
2) AWS, Google, MSFT Azure clouds easily
accessible and inexpensive.
3) AI shift from academic labs to applied
research at large tech companies who are now

Dynamic forces shaping AI
It’s about AI driven Economics and Workplace Automation

How much AI impacts annual economic growth rates

AI Workplace Automation
• $70 billion industry by 2020.

• 80% executives say AI boosts
productivity

• By 2018 30% of interactions via
smart machines and “digital
assistants” (Gartner)

• By 2018 45% companies will
"employ" more smart machines
& virtual assistants than people
(Gartner)

• By 2020, 85% of customer
interactions will be managed
without a human. (Gartner)

• By 2020, smart agents will
manage 40% of mobile
interactions. (Gartner)

• By 2020 most enterprise
relationships with customers
won't require humans

Companies Reimagining Business Processes with Algorithms

Algorithms redesign business processes like humans did during reengineering movement.
“Alluding to Peter Drucker’s thinking, effectiveness should be a human pursuit, while
efﬁciency should be delegated to machines”

AI products and services are emotionally aware, letting designers create the
best experience for each user and hyper-aligned to individuals’ interests.

#AI becomes the #UIX

How AI Will Make Technology Disappear
• AI will be the way we interact
with our smartphones, cars,
fridges, central heating system
and front door.
• We will be living in an always-on
world.
• Making our devices able to ﬁgure
out our current context and
predict our intentions is the key
to building truly intelligent
products.
Gartner: 6 billion connected "things" will be actively requesting support from
AI platforms by 2018.

The Upside of Automating Part of Your Job
https://hbr.org/video/4803762336001/the-upside-of-automating-part-of-your-job
Machines will do the things you didn't want to do anyway

Robotics / AI market $150B by 2020, improve productivity by 30%
• McKinsey: 45% of all work activities could be automated right now and
60% of occupations could have 30% or more of their activities automated.
• McKinsey: by 2025, robots could produce an output equivalent to 40-75
million workers in both industrial and service roles.

'The bad version is one where jobs get killed faster than we create new ones'
Citi and Oxford University predict that 77% of all jobs in China, 57% of jobs across the 34 OECD
countries and 47% of US jobs at risk within with advances in automation and artiﬁcial intelligence.

MT @saladinahmed jobs that will be taken over by robots
include 'condescending white man’
Gartner: By 2018, more than 3 million workers globally will
be supervised by a “robo-boss."

Why need for Workplace Automation ?
another HUGE reason is Collaborative Overload http://s.hbr.org/1P3KGIG
stunning stat: 20% to 35% of value-added collaborations come from just 3% to
5% of employees
AI can do routine, non-creative work that we humans are accustomed to doing

https://www.accenture.com/us-en/insight-intelligent-machines-workforce-of-the-future

It about Augmented Intelligence
In modern AI, humans and machines work alongside to improve way we work, live, and play.
• The unabated data explosion will create new and different jobs.
• While AI can tame big data by giving businesses insight, it’s employees’
tacit knowledge that brings value in a way that a machine cannot.
• Rather than replacing workers, new technologies will require them to gain
new skills
• That will mean making education and training flexible enough to teach new
skills quickly and efﬁciently. It will require a greater emphasis on lifelong
learning

Become an Emergent Organization or you’re toast !
https://medium.com/emergent-era/the-rise-of-emergent-organizations-76e67e5860f0#.uyy7euihg
• Organize around information flows and Empower individuals
• Mimic emergent systems in nature by distributing the decision making proce
as widely across the network as possible
• Open up new feedback loops
• Tap into the power of minds and machines.

Causal AI ( why AI ) has greatest potential to change way
industries operate and businesses compete
See Mina Lux @mlux2005 #BigData Doesn't Know Why
https://shar.es/1OWWIZ Lightning session 5:00 - 5:45pm today
Clue: big AI players do not have advantage here yet
http://www.meelo.com/
Causal reasoning confirms deductions and conclusions, how things started, root of
change, identify inflection points etc. It supports context, inference, predictions,
explanations and counterfactural reasoning that will propel the industry to truly
understand perception and other complex, multi-dimensional behaviors.
