Here’s a Glimpse into the Future of Work: No Monitors, just 3-D Holograms
The subject of Artificial Intelligence has been discussed through possible applications in the physical replacement of humans in specialised work areas (like pharmacists and doctors, retail environments and offices-just for starters) and what would the New World look like after such a massive social disruption.
