Let me challenge this claim: *"...Engineering and science occupations are also less susceptible to the phenomenon, largely due to the high degree of creative intelligence they require. It is, however, possible that computers will fully substitute for workers in these occupations over the long-run.* * * *This means that as technology races ahead, low-skill workers will need to train in tasks that are less susceptible to computerisation - that is, tasks requiring creative and social intelligence*...."
*Todor:* It could be the opposite in many cases, but it is easy to understand the "bourgeois" believe in their superiority of the authors as "intellectual workers", most people have the multi-domain blindness issue. The "creative intelligence" is hard for the humans, especially hard for average people and average researchers, engineers or whatever to understand and explain. They don't understand their own intentions, "schemas", behavior, reasons, they don't know why they do or choose etc. what they did, can't remember it and analyse it good enough. The problem is not that versatile general intelligence is so complex, it is that the humans are too dumb to fit it in their tiny "RAM". The low-skill workers which are agile and fit in human environment (such as waiters) are harder to get replaced by humanoid robots, they are not yet built and for a long time will be more expensive and harder to built than to pick a computer, connect it to the network and get it thinking. The "white collars" are more endangered in current-time economy... which could hardly survive, of course. Or it may turn inside-out for a while, the low-skill workers will get higher pay, because intellectual activities will be done in 1 ms for free... ;) -- ===* Todor "Tosh" Arnaudov ===* * ....
