Amazon offers peek at new human jobs in an AI bot world

Quick Summary:

The tech industry seems to have two thoughts when it comes to where human workers fit into the AI-powered world they are creating: Either they think that all the jobs, except perhaps their own, will be done by bots.(VC Marc Andreessen seems to think that his work as an investor could never be automated).

It wouldn’t require an army of humans to oversee the robots in the same way it needs them to fulfill warehouse orders directly.

For those who don’t have the economic power, or the intellectual interest, to get a master’s degree in AI and machine learning — especially the people who now occupy unskilled labor roles like warehouse workers — what does the bot-filled future look like for them?
