Blog Post #9

 After watching the second hour of In the Age of AI (full documentary) | FRONTLINE, I have a few comments. Women are being underrepresented. In discussions of robots and automation, almost all photos are of men, even though women are the majority of the ones doing the work.

Women are overrepresented in marginalized occupations like cashiers or fast food workers, as well as in a large number of clerical positions in offices like HR departments, payroll, and finance, these all have potential for automation. Advances in technology are going to take over jobs. 

AI is going to do some of that. software robots are going to do some of that. They are both going to have a role in the workplace. 

Most Americans can not afford a $400 unplanned expense, so if people want to advance in a certain field, different hiccups can make it difficult.  

New machines will penetrate every sector of the economy, from insurance companies to human resource departments, from law firms to the trading world of Wall Street. We are all going to see how and how many robots it takes to take jobs from people.
