Will our smart machines help to preserve humanity and our values — or will they have values of their own?

    What will future jobs look like? | Andrew McAfee

    Economist Andrew McAfee suggests that, yes, probably, droids will take our jobs — or at least the kinds of jobs we know now. In this far-seeing talk, he thinks through what future jobs might look like, and how to educate coming generations to hold them.
