Columnist Tim Harford discusses the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs, pointing out that despite fears of automation, many jobs will evolve rather than disappear. For example, gardeners may benefit from AI aids, but they won't be replaced. Harford compares the effects of automation in accounting and inventory management, highlighting how automated tasks can transform the nature of work. The key question is whether AI will take over skilled or unskilled tasks, thus influencing employee satisfaction and wages.
