The automation of everything will greatly disrupt the world order and business world. Manual labor and even the professions are going to be in for economic shocks worldwide. Many of the professions will erect legislative and professional barriers to protect their own interests above all others. Up to forty percent of medical could be easily automated and it is the single largest industry in the US and a dominant force worldwide. Professions that thought they would be immune to automation are going to be in for a big surprise. They will do everything to keep their actions from being transparent and rationalize their actions to keep their substandard, inefficient, high-cost methods in place. Platforms will disrupt the professions, just like robotics will disrupt manual labor. The combination of robotics and platforms will disrupt everything in between. Modern communications and data centers will bring progress on real time, speeding the advances as databases literally learn on the fly, taking the speed of progress to levels even now considered impossible. This will all take massive computing, memory and high-speed, low-cost communications to make this happen. The companies and organizations that can get around these barriers and challenges will be the dominant players in the future if they succeed. The grossly expensive education lobby will only be able to succeed intact if they can throw a monkey wrench into the coming changes. Never underestimate the power of ignorance, which is one of the dominant forces in politics and business. You need to look no farther than to see that Xi, Putin and Biden have no ethics when it comes to holding back peace and progress.
Thoughts, additions and challenges sought and welcomed; this is part of the progress that is needed.
