Remaking how humans work is a core part of every tech revolution, which the Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter called "creative destruction"—a process that "incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one."
Creative destruction doesn't only destroy jobs; it also creates new and better ones. "Humans have been doing robot jobs," says Flo Crivello, the founder and CEO of Lindy, which is building an artificial intelligence–powered personal assistant. "I think it's tragic that we're having humans perform such basic tasks all day."
