Reading the newspaper with my morning coffee is my habit of decades.  Therefore, I see an overwhelming amount of bad news.  (It is said that good news doesn’t sell newspapers, but who knows?)

Lately, there has been a lot of reporting on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on workers—and it is not hopeful news. Many are convinced that advanced A.I. will soon surpass human capabilities, and many jobs will disappear.  I do not know if this is true, but even though 80-something can’t do anything about this,

I still can worry about it.

    Dear Judy, I understand your concern about AI, I see it as advancement and we will still need many real jobs to create it. skipping the news? Yes, most mornings the NYT shows destruction in places I couldn’t find on a map. I now tend to go deeply into news which is about places where my family is, Boston for the World Cup, NYC for the Knicks parade, other parts of the world. I enjoy human interest stories but often wonder at people allowing their lives to be broadcast such as the stories about how you can live on $100,000 in New York.
