re: Ex-Facebook Exec Warns Of ‘Revolution’ Caused By Job Automation

Not every doctor and lawyer job will be relegated to autonomous work, but a great deal of background research way very well be. Those professions won't go away, but the demand for that sort of labor will likely fall significantly.

Rather than teams full of low level lawyers pouring through statutes and decisions, an AI program will do that work, filter it to a single human 'quality-checker' who will then send it off to the lawyer arguing the case. A couple lawyers and a program will potentially be able to do the work that previously required a full team.
