The development of AI and cloud technology will accelerate automation to a point where human inputs needed will be minimal which will make productivity enormous at the sacrifice of the labor force. If you layer blockchain and the smart contracts that can be powered by it, it also cuts out the middleman which is a large part of the services economy. This will dramatically change the landscape of the workforce in the future. Therefore, we need to be adapting to these changes to become an agent of change and remain relevant.
