I would imagine that as quantum computing comes to pass it will be teamed with artifical intelligence and we will be “off to the races.” Imagine machines that can learn, identify issues and opportunities, and then perform tests and improvements at a speed way beyond that of humans. The machines will have the potential to become “smarter” than people because they will have a huge pipeline of information in the brain. This will happen and we will not even notice it. Until we realize we are ALL out of jobs.

What makes you think this isn't already happening? Because it is.

My job is to trim the people involved in communications processes. With automation that the customer is not even aware of, I could cut a staff of about forty, to ten people.

We learn how to maximize the efficiency. Then we walk it back to hit the goals rom the accounting department. If THEY had a clue, those folks would be sent packing next week.
