With AI/ML and automation of production processes, the only way to avoid massive unemployment will be to create entirely new fields that improve current processes and create entirely new ones that weren't economic before. The speed of obsolescence of hard and soft goods, services and just about everything will have to speed up dramatically. It used to be the main threat was to lower skill sets, but this is going to rapidly extend to up the skill chain to even complex fields like surgery where in the not to distant future even the best surgeons will not be able to keep up with highly automated systems that can look up thousands of options in complex surgery on the fly. The best way to deal with this is to design models that adapt constantly to accelerating progress. If this is not taken into account from the beginning of a project, failure will become a very significant possibility. This trend will create a field of specialists of all disciplines that will be the leaders and in demand in this new and fast coming future. Any thoughts, additions sought on how different fields will adapt and the types of businesses that will prosper in this ecosystem that is in its infancy.
