Artificial intelligence won't take your job anytime soon

The economy is not yet ready for machines to replace most people in the workforce, according to new research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
MIT researchers sought to analyze not only whether artificial intelligence will automate human jobs, but also when that might happen. They concluded that the vast majority of jobs previously considered susceptible to automation by artificial intelligence are not currently economically feasible for employers to automate.
One key finding is that currently, only 23 percent of the wages currently paid to people for jobs that could theoretically be taken over by AI would be economically viable for employers. While this situation could change in the future, the overall findings suggest that changes associated with the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace are likely to develop gradually, the researchers said.
