   “A sobering, short-term warning about artificial intelligence and   
   white-collar jobs”

   “Basically, any white-collar job (management, technical, administrative,   
   whatever) is under threat.”   
      
   “Mo Gawdat, the former chief business officer of Google X, has a stark   
   message for white-collar professionals: Artificial intelligence isn’t   
   just coming for entry-level work — it’s coming for everyone, including   
   software developers, CEOs, and podcasters.”   
      
   “In a Monday conversation on the “Diary of a CEO” podcast, Gawdat   
   predicted that most knowledge workers would be replaced in the next   
   decade and said many still underestimated just how rapidly this   
   transformation would unfold.”   
      
   “He cited his own startup, Emma.love, which builds emotional and   
   relationship-focused artificial intelligence and is run by just three   
   people.”   
      
   “”That startup would have been 350 developers in the past,” he said.”   
      
   I just do not see it for software developers of anything complicated.   
   I’ve got 1.4 million lines of Fortran and C++ that I am dragging around   
   the place.  I cannot imagine an AI figuring it out.
