IBM CEO Arvind Krishna is soothing nerves about artificial intelligence stealing jobs by pointing to declining working-age populations.
Given the declines—seen in developing economies around the world—having people do routine tasks that A.I. could do is “not an option,” he said. “We are going to need technology to do some of the mundane work so that people can do higher-value work.” He added that ultimately “there is going to be job creation” with A.I., as jobs will also be added in areas with more value creation.
