‘Why machines do not have to be the enemy’ by Sarah O’Connor, Financial Times, 1 November 2017. It quotes new research from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. 216,000 adults in 40 countries were put through a 50-minute assessment in a Survey of Adult Skills. One-third of workers use cognitive skills daily in their jobs, yet competency levels have already been matched by computers. 44% are still better than machines. 25% have jobs that do not use their skills every day.
