Automation is “way better” than fallible humans when it comes to many tasks—but it can’t come close to comparing when a job calls for physical presence. In other words, don’t be afraid of A.I. stealing your job…unless you work fully remotely. 

That’s what Nick Bloom, Stanford economist and the brains behind remote work research group WFH Research, said at a webinar earlier this month.
