The tech expert stressed that its capabilities far exceed those of humanity. The corporations, which Sinovation Ventures has invested in, can accomplish feats such as recognizing three million faces simultaneously or dispersing loans in eight seconds.

The technologist does not see machines taking the place of humans in the world as they grow more intelligent.

Lee stressed that service jobs should be considered “first-class” employment. According to the expert, traditional institutions like banks, insurance firms, and hospitals are moving too slow, while all of this change is happening.

Poster Comment: Not to worry in US; Trump will build a wall. In my local bank branch all the tellers are gone. Insert bank card, type password, select bill to be paid or insert cheque to be deposited, a few selects and it's done. No one making you wait in line while yappy customer converses with a teller.

No surprise there,given that half the jobs available now don't require any intelligence. Why else do you think the left is out to seize total control over the civilized areas of the planet,if not to kill off a excess population with no jobs and no hope of ever getting a job? Other than the natural fascist tendency to bully,beat,and murder people,that is. Nobody wants to hear it,but the population MUST be controlled or it will get out of hand and there will be worldwide famines and revolutions,along with starvation and deaths by disease they always bring.
