Creative Automation: Software is coming for creative jobs.
There’s a narrative rolling around the tech world and some political circles about the future of work — that many jobs will be displaced in the next ten to fifteen years. The story usually starts with driverless technology and the trucking industry or perhaps digital assistants and AI’s coming servitude. Another outcome of the coming technical revolution hasn’t been shared as frequently and that is that many jobs that will be replaced by software are white collar jobs. And what I see no one saying is this: many creative jobs are on the cutting block.
