I genuinely love technology.  Technology stimulates and entertains my mind.  The technology industry also assists me to feed my family, so I am reliant on the tech industry for my livelihood.

The new wave of artificial intelligence, cognitive, machine learning advances in technology, promise to create previously unforeseen advances in medicine, research, customer engagement, automation, entertainment and more.

I do acknowledge that an element of the ‘more’ may be somewhat unpalatable for many inhabitants of our planet.

As a business professional, father and (I like to believe) a rather decent person, I am somewhat perplexed by the ‘promise’ of AI, ML and cognitive ‘solutions’.  Simply put, may these make my existence redundant in this world?  Will humans create machines capable of building and maintaining genuine human relationships, with people?  Machines which can do what I do for a living far more effectively than I am able to.

It would come as a complete surprise to me to discover I am the only person considering such questions.

Are you wondering the same?  Experiencing the same concerns?

Fear not my friends: #mckinsey published a rather interesting ‘What the future of work will mean for jobs, skills, and wages’ article to educate and reassure us all.

If, however, it all turns to poop and we find ourselves relegated to the (non-financially compensated) role of ‘Breeding and Media Consumption Device’, rest assured the top 10% of earners on the planet will pull a ‘Bill Gates’-  donating their significant wealth and resources towards ending world poverty and ensuring a better life for all.

Am I right?

Until that moment arrives, does anyone need a cognitive machine learning solution with enhanced artificial intelligence?

I happen to have a great deal going on them at the moment – limited time only.
