ABC This Week interviews during 2020: on Technology


Bill Weld: Teach skill sets for tech jobs of the future

25 percent of the jobs in the country are about to disappear because of artificial intelligence and robotics and drones and machine learning and autonomous vehicles. Nobody is planning ahead for that, and it would entail a lot of work to make sure that people get the skillsets to get the replacement jobs when they show up around the same time. If we play that right with our educational system, the people that lose those jobs could wind up with higher wages than they had before.
