By Jeff Desjardins, The Visual Capitalist The interplay between technology and work has always been a hot topic. While technology has typically created more jobs than it has destroyed on a historical basis, this context rarely stops people from believing that things are “different” this time around.

Artificial intelligence is the technology story of the hour, and everyone wants to dive in.
