"The central claims of the first edition of this book can be stated simply. Machines are becoming increasingly capable and are taking on more and more of the tasks that once were the exclusive province of human professionals. While new tasks will no doubt arise in years to come, machines are likely in time to take on many of these as well. In the medium term, during the 2020s, this will not mean unemployment for professionals. But there will be widespread redeployment and a need for extensive retraining. In the long run, however, we find it hard to avoid the conclusion that there will be a steady decline in the need for traditional flesh-and-blood professionals working as they do today."
