Millions of educated knowledge workers?writers, paralegals, assistants, medical technicians?are threatened by accelerating advances in artificial intelligence.

Today, Era Two of automation continues to wash across the entire services-based economy that has replaced jobs in agriculture and manufacturing. Era Three and the rise of AI, is dawning.
