Editor’s Note: This article was originally published by Strategy + Business<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>

A growing number of people are worried that robots \u2014 and other machines with artificial intelligence \u2014 will imminently steal so many jobs that it will lead to a future of pervasive unemployment. But even a cursory reading of history will show that we\u2019ve been here before.<\/p>

Consider a series of headlines pulled from just one newspaper, the New York Times<\/i>, as an illustration: In 1928, the Times<\/i> ran an article titled \u201cMarch of the Machine Makes Idle Hands<\/a>.\u201d In 1956, it announced \u201cWorkers See \u2018Robot Revolution\u2019 Depriving Them of Jobs<\/a>\u201d (for an article about labor unrest in London). In 1980, the newspaper declared \u201cA Robot Is After Your Job<\/a>.\u201d And in December 2017, a Times<\/i> op-ed headline asked, \u201cWill Robots Take Our Children\u2019s Jobs?<\/a>\u201d with the answer being an anxious \u201cprobably.\u201d<\/p>

Yet, at the same time, the U.S. is nearing full employment. Once again, there is a raft of warnings about lost jobs, and once again, there is reason to doubt the warnings. The real challenge engendered by AI may be a persistent shortage of skilled labor.<\/p>

To be sure, robots are becoming smarter through improvements in AI. They are taking over many repetitive tasks, which might seem ominous for human labor. But this trend has to be considered in the context of ongoing technology innovation and global economic progress, which has a strong track record of generating jobs for humans to fill. In 1950, only 55 percent of the working-age population in the U.S. was employed. By 2015, that percentage had risen to 60 percent \u2014 representing a net increase of about 100 million jobs \u2014 after many potentially job-killing technologies had been introduced, among them shipping cranes, ATMs, and personal computer spreadsheets. The same could well be true of this wave, especially if we put into place the innovations in education that could help people adapt.<\/p>

From Luxuries to Necessities<\/b><\/p>

There are two reasons that, again and again, automation leads to broader levels of employment. The first has to do with the enabling of customers. New technologies turn the luxuries of the past into the needs of the present, and it requires labor to support those new necessities. For example, in 1950, very few people could afford air travel. But as the price of a plane ticket came down, the long-distance tourism industry exploded. Today, according to one prominent global industry association<\/a>, nearly 1,000 major amusement parks and theme-based attractions around the world are visited by about a billion people each year, and more than 2.4 million jobs are attributed to them in the U.S. and Europe alone. Whether it\u2019s the artists and engineers who invent new rides, or the actors who take pictures with kids, or the managers of food trucks, or those who create the marketing campaigns, that\u2019s a whole lot of jobs that didn\u2019t exist in 1950.<\/p>

Another example is as close as your nearest bank branch. In the 1960s, if you needed cash from a financial-services firm, you went to a human teller. In 1967, when the first automated teller machine<\/a> was installed by Barclays Bank in London, people thought it would bring about the eradication of teller jobs. Needless to say, they were wrong. Yes, the time employees spent counting out dollar bills for customers dropped off a cliff. The number of tellers employed per bank branch declined. But the new ATM technology made it cheaper to open branches. Tellers found themselves solving more complex problems for customers than they could before<\/a>, while providing a much better customer experience than banks could offer in the 1960s. The total numbers of tellers employed actually increased<\/a>.<\/p>

Of course, a teller of the 1960s couldn\u2019t just step into one of today\u2019s bank jobs \u2014 not without a lot of retraining. And that\u2019s the challenge new technology brings. There\u2019s no difficulty in finding an open job, but it\u2019s hard to find people for the jobs that exist.<\/p>

In the technology industry, for example, there are labor shortages everywhere. By some estimates<\/a>, in 2017, there were fewer than 50,000 computer science graduates to fill 500,000 open developer jobs in the U.S. alone. In a 2017 survey by Salesforce Research, 52 percent of IT leaders<\/a> said that skills gaps were a major challenge in their organization.<\/p>

\u201cIn the current era of business process improvement, AI systems are not replacing us; they are amplifying our skills and collaborating with us to achieve performance gains that have previously not been possible,\u201d write Paul R. Daugherty and H. James Wilson in their new book, Human + Machine: Reimagining Work in the Age of AI<\/a><\/i>. <\/p>

Enduring Jobs and Vanishing Tasks<\/b><\/p>

The second reason that jobs will not be lost, even in the current wave of technological change, has to do with the nature of jobs. A person who holds a single job performs many different tasks \u2014 and although some of these are vulnerable to automation, others are not. Thus, whereas it\u2019s not accurate to say that AI will replace many jobs, AI could take over many of the tasks that make up today\u2019s jobs.<\/p>

Predictable physical tasks will be easiest to automate. Machines are great at high-volume, routine work. They use mechanical power to replace human brawn. They will also replace people in rote clerical and menial tasks.<\/p>

But they will remain poor at abstract tasks such as complex problem solving, and even worse at interactions that require empathy or common sense. Nor will they easily handle new environments in which little data is available. Machine learning depends on having a data-filled, accessible history from which the computer system can make inferences. Thus, managing people, solving unstructured problems, and innovating will remain almost impossible to delegate to a robot, no matter how well programmed it is.<\/p>

Even as old tasks disappear, new ones will emerge. The jobs of the future will be built around those tasks. Companies will need to help their employees upgrade their proficiency and gain the necessary new skills. Those who are independent of a single employer will have to do it for themselves. To use a quote attributed to Alvin Toffler: \u201cThe illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.\u201d<\/p>

According to some estimates, 65 percent of the kids in school today will end up doing jobs that don’t exist yet. They\u2019ll need continual retraining and relearning. So will employees at the other end of the age range. I started working at Salesforce at age 65. I had to learn new skills and a new industry. I consider myself living proof that it can be done. <\/p>

Rethinking Your Company’s Jobs<\/b><\/p>

If you are a business leader, you still have to address the challenge of automation<\/a>, but in a way you probably didn\u2019t expect. As competitors add new capabilities to meet new customer needs, you\u2019ll have to keep up or surpass them. You\u2019ll thus need to think more creatively about the jobs you have, the tasks that make up those jobs, the skills that your people will need<\/a>, and the training you offer them.<\/p>

Start now by considering the jobs in your organization. Begin to break them down into discrete tasks. Then identify which tasks are ideal for humans and which are better suited to machines. Any of the current jobs in your company can be reevaluated this way. For example, you won\u2019t need truck drivers to merely convey a vehicle from one location to another. But in a world where companies are increasingly judged on the quality of the customer experience they provide, you will need employees who can combine the skills of a customer service agent, marketer, and salesperson to sit in those trucks and engage with customers as they make deliveries.<\/p>

Some of the most prescient companies, governments, and labor unions are placing their bets on training \u2014 not just providing more of it, but raising its effectiveness. The country of Singapore recently launched SkillsFuture SG<\/a>, a \u201cnational movement to provide Singaporeans with the opportunities to develop their fullest potential throughout life, regardless of their starting points.\u201d The Trades Union Congress in the U.K. has an initiative called Unionlearn<\/a>, based on a cascade model; it has trained more than 30,000 \u201cunion learning representatives\u201d who have in turn mentored more than 220,000 others. At Salesforce, we also feel the need to do this; we set up a free, gamified learning platform called Trailhead, which allows anyone to learn Salesforce, along with broader business skills. We\u2019ve opened it up to our customers to create their own guided learning paths for their employees.<\/p>

All of these programs rely on new technology to improve and speed up the learning process. New tools are appearing rapidly that are based on neural biology, new computational paradigms, and machine learning; these tools are able to accelerate and improve people\u2019s ability to learn. In many cases, the same technologies that appear to be removing jobs will be the means of delivering the new skills that will keep people employed.<\/p>

Retraining people for a new environment is much more arduous today than it needs to be. As a society, if we don\u2019t begin facilitating mass reskilling and education, we\u2019re going to further widen the gap between the haves and have-nots and increase economic and political instability around the world. I can\u2019t claim that education, in itself, will solve our economic problems, but increasing the effectiveness of education is absolutely a prerequisite to doing so.<\/p>

Those who warn that robots are taking over are fearing the wrong threat. Creating a culture of continuous learning is how we will get from today\u2019s economy to a new economy that gives more people an opportunity to prosper. And it\u2019s important to understand that the responsibility for providing that education cannot fall only on governments. In a fast-changing environment where continuous learning is crucial, business will play a key role. Is your company prepared?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
