The Rise of AI will be Consequential for Blue-Collar Workers

AI & Automation

Artificial Intelligence or AI is coming after your livelihood and there’s nothing you can do about it.

From bookkeepers and drivers to machine operators, AI is increasingly replacing humans in various industries.

For instance, have you shopped at a Walmart lately? Gone are the days where self-checkout is a small portion of the available points of sale.

Now, self-checkout takes up almost 50% of available points of sale with an increasing number of stores implementing self-checkout lanes with full conveyor belts.

Now, instead of having 10 cashiers on 10 different lanes, Walmart can utilize one human “monitor” to ensure that the machines are running smoothly – something we all know doesn’t happen too often.
