A contrary opinion…
Automation will erase 'knowledge jobs' before most blue collar jobs: Future Today Institute CEO
… “We did a short study trying to assess which jobs were most at risk, but also which ones stand to gain,” Webb told Yahoo Finance Live. “I really think that the business community has gotten this wrong over the past 10 years or so. You know, it's not the blue collar jobs that are going to go away first. It's not truckers, it's not plumbers, and that's because there's too much variability.”
… “That actually has profound implications on law firms, professional services agencies, and a lot of consulting groups, which are built using a more pyramid model,” Webb said. “We automate some of our research now, and we use AI to do some of it. So again, I think that if you can re-perceive [automation], that's going to help you get a better understanding of what's happening and help you make bigger bets, better bets on the future.”
Automation won’t necessarily displace workers, even as it eliminates jobs, the Future Today Institute’s 2022 Emerging Tech report on AI noted. Certain processes may be automated to free employees up to work on other, human-oriented tasks and save time.
Interesting. Does it occur to them that the AI is “making up” data?

HERE’S HOW AN ALGORITHM GUIDES A MEDICAL DECISION
… To help demystify the AI tools used in medicine today, we’re going to break down the components of one specific algorithm and see how it works. We picked an algorithm that flags patients in the early stages of sepsis — a life-threatening complication from an infection that results in widespread inflammation through the body. It can be hard for doctors to identify sepsis because the signs are subtle, especially early on, so it’s a common target for artificial intelligence-based tools. This particular program also uses mathematical techniques, like neural networks, that are typical of medical algorithms.
