The New Elite: The Impact of AI and Robotics

• Humans and machines have a complex relationship, with humans shaping machines and machines shaping them.

• AI, numbers, money, and AI are not just technologies but also shape what and who societies value.

• Machines can remember, analyze information, and predict outcomes, creating a new set of values.

• Nobel laureate Dimitri Hassabis suggests AI and robotics may replace doctors, but not nurses.

• Professions based on knowledge and abstract skills could become obsolete, with tangible, emotional labor more valuable.

• Jobs often seen as less skilled today could become the most valuable.

• As lucrative professions face an existential crisis, it’s time to value others economically and socially, including teachers, nurses, and nannies.
