If you’re like me, you may have read yet another article last week about artificial intelligence and the likelihood of robotics and other tech advancements adversely impacting numerous jobs in years to come.
It’s not as though innovation hasn’t disrupted labour forces before; think of your student days and everything you learned about the Industrial Revolution.

He wrote about gender-biased occupations and a projection that there’s less short-term risk of job loss for those who work in roles where the ability “to read people’s emotions and intentions” is critical to success. Sound like any job you know?
