(Bloomberg) – In IBM Chief Executive Officer Ginni Rometty's vision of the near future, all businesses will need artificial intelligence to succeed, but software and machines will take jobs away from very few actual humans.
"There's so much fear-mongering around what AI is," Rometty said in an interview at Bloomberg's Sooner Than You Think conference in New York. "When it comes to complete job replacement, it will be a very small percentage; when it comes to changing a job and what you do, it'll be 100 percent."
Rometty said the issue of skills is "front and center" in the U.S. now, even without considering the impacts of AI. She reiterated her view that education has to be "fundamentally revamped" in this country for "the era of man and machine."
