Harvard’s future of work professor sees A.I. killing off one job in particular

A.I. will probably not steal your job—except if you're doing that one. While white-collar jobs as we know them are hardly set to disappear, a handful of them will “dwindle hugely,” according to Joseph Fuller, a professor of management at Harvard Business School. And Fuller should know: Before Harvard, he spent three decades heading a consulting firm focused on corporate strategy and competitiveness that was ultimately acquired by Deloitte. At HBS, he co-leads the Managing the Future of Work initiative, which researches the shifting global product and labor markets, evolving regulations, and the gig economy. There’s one type of job he wouldn’t want right now.

“I wouldn’t want to be someone who does the reading or summarization of business books to send out 20-page summaries, because A.I. is really good at summarization already,” Fuller told Fortune.
