Management Challenges in Technological Job Loss

There is a concern that computer technology will replace jobs at a large rate within the near future. In the study of Big Data, a recurring theme comes through. There is a great deal of data available and there is a need to understand this data. Machine analytics can help organizations understand these numbers, and computers are learning from these large datasets. Because of this machine learning, computer technology will have the ability to “think”, i.e. artificial intelligence. An assumption frequently made is that this technology will take over many current jobs. Recently, there has been an immense amount of discussion on this topic in the media. But is it true? This paper will list some management challenges in this possible job transition.
