British economist Roger Bootle, winner of the prestigious Wolfson Prize, writes how the widespread introduction of robotization and artificial intelligence in the long term will affect the development of mankind. The author is conducting a study of how new technologies are already affecting inflation, the distribution of wealth and power, education, leisure, business - and analyzes what innovative future awaits all of us, based on facts. "It seems that most people believe that the revolution of artificial intelligence in the field of education will lead to a significant decrease in demand for teachers. As a matter of fact, such a revolution is already underway. To date, more people have enrolled in Harvard's online courses than have studied in the buildings of the university itself for almost 400 years of its existence." The bottle describes a model in which workflows will be fully automated, robots will partially replace employees, but, of course, specialists will still be important, and their level of productivity will be influenced by all the same technologies. Moreover, completely new activities, products and services will appear.
