In the past, you could easily find articles that described the complete loss of job opportunities for humans because of robots. Robots already perform a number of tasks that used to employ humans, and this usage will increase over time. However, now that companies have more experience under their belts, you often find that articles talk about augmentation, which involves the robot and human working side by side to perform tasks. The previous section of this chapter aided you in understanding some of the practical, real-world uses for machine learning today and helped you discover where those uses are likely to expand in the future. While reading this section, you must have also considered how those new uses could potentially cost you or a loved one a job. The article at https://aithority.com/guest-authors/the-future-of-artificial-intelligence-is-job-augmentation-not-elimination/ sets the record straight by pointing out that robots can’t actually replace humans in many (perhaps most) scenarios.

The fact of the matter is that deciding just how machine learning will affect the work environment is hard, just as it was hard for people to see where the industrial revolution would take us in the way of mass-producing goods for the general consumer (see https://www.history.com/topics/industrial-revolution for details). Just as those workers needed to find new jobs, so people facing loss of occupation to machine learning today will need to find new jobs or discover how to perform their tasks in new ways.
