Bughin, J., Hazan, E., Lund, S., Dahlström, P., Wiesinger, A., & Subramaniam, A. (2020, July 23). Skill shift: Automation and the future of the workforce. McKinsey & Company. https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/future-of-work/skill-shift-automation-and-the-future-of-the-workforce#
This article is essentially about the future of the workforce due to AI and automation. The authors convey that there will be skill shifts due to the introduction of new technology. Additionally, the article highlights that technological skills will be more in demand around 2030 than manual. The demand for technology related jobs will also increase significantly in the future. Certain industries such as banking and insurance will not be in need of cognitive and social jobs, instead will be looking for technology experts. Automation and retail will see a surge in the use of AI technology, leading to some unemployment. Healthcare is indifferent since they will be one of the only sectors in need of manual and physical work. Companies will also have to find a way to adapt to these changes. Conveniently, the article is published on the McKinsey & Company website, with surveys conducted by them. McKinsey & Company is an influential business and management institution.

This article is about the effect of robots on the workforce. The writer, Jason Borenstein, highlights that the use of robotics in jobs will not slow down anytime soon, therefore it will lead to numerous different outcomes that are either negative or positive. A positive outcome Boreinstein mentioned is that new job opportunities could emerge, however at the same time, some jobs could be closed off, leading to unemployment. More so, Borenstein is affiliated with Georgia Tech and includes multiple references to his work. Some examples of work he used are ‘Engineers and engineering in the US and Japan: a critical review of the literature and suggestions for a new research agenda’ by Lynn LH and ‘The design of future things’ by Norman DA.

This article goes through the aspects of AI. The authors question whether the upcoming AI systems will impact lives and fulfill its promise by making critical decisions for humans. The paper also analyzes the security aspects of the AI systems, declaring that AI applications will need strong security properties. To a greater degree, there is a summary of the relation of Moore’s Law towards AI and the reasoning behind the success of AI. It is also conveyed that AI will lead to new innovation in hardware architecture and systems. To add, this paper is a part of the official website for the University of Cornell and includes a lot of references/citations.
