Years ago, when I started writing about Silicon Valley\u2019s efforts to replace workers with artificial intelligence, most tech executives at least had the decency to lie about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not automating workers, we\u2019re augmenting<\/em> them,\u201d the executives would tell me<\/a>. \u201cOur A.I. tools won\u2019t destroy jobs. They\u2019ll be helpful assistants that will free workers from mundane drudgery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, lines like those \u2014 which were often intended to reassure nervous workers and give cover to corporate automation plans \u2014 said more about the limitations of the technology than the motives of the executives. Back then, A.I. simply wasn\u2019t good enough to automate most jobs, and it certainly wasn\u2019t capable of replacing college-educated workers in white-collar industries like tech, consulting and finance.<\/p>\n

That is starting to change. Some of today\u2019s A.I. systems can write software, produce detailed research reports and solve complex math and science problems. Newer A.I. \u201cagents\u201d are capable of carrying out long sequences of tasks and checking their own work, the way a human would. And while these systems still fall short of humans in many areas, some experts are worried that a recent uptick in unemployment for college graduates is a sign that companies are already using A.I.<\/a> as a substitute for some entry-level workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On Thursday, I got a glimpse of a post-labor future at an event held in San Francisco by Mechanize, a new A.I. start-up that has an audacious goal of automating all jobs \u2014 yours, mine, those of our doctors and lawyers, the people who write our software and design our buildings and care for our children.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to fully automate work,\u201d said Tamay Besiroglu, 29, one of Mechanize\u2019s founders. \u201cWe want to get to a fully automated economy, and make that happen as fast as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
