The documentary team focused on truck drivers, legal workers, hospitality workers and medical workers, along with significant AI developments like the development of IBM's Watson, and DeepMind's stunning victory in Go last year. By examining the issues with both experts, workers and students that are going to be impacted, the documentary presents a very in-depth look at the potential of AI and automation on work in the future.Peter Norvig, who heads many of Google's AI projects instructed his kids about how to prepare for the future of work with artificial intelligence:
"I tell them … wherever they will be working in 20 years probably doesn't exist now," Peter Norvig says. "No sense training for it today."
Economist Andrew Charlton, "For the first time, we broke the Australian economy down into 20 billion hours of work, and we asked what does every Australian do with their day and how or what about their job will change over the next 15 years."
The economist's work can be tested at a site set up by ABC. There you can test if your job is under threat from automation or not.

"It's not so much about what jobs will we do, but how will we do our jobs, because automation isn't going to affect some workers, it's going to affect every worker."
"I think the biggest misconception is that everyone talks about automation as destroying jobs, the reality is that automation changes every job. It's not so much about what jobs will we do, but how will we do our jobs, because automation isn't going to affect some workers, it's going to affect every worker," Charlton states in the video below from ABC's Lateline.“It’s not so much about what jobs will we do, but how will we do our jobs,” he explains. “Everyone will do their job differently, working with machines over the next 20 years.
"A retail worker will spend nine hours less on physical and routine tasks like stocking shelves and processing goods at the checkout, and nine hours more on tasks like helping customers to find what they want and providing them with advice,” Charlton suggests.

"The one thing we do know is the jobs that will be created will require different skills than the jobs that will be destroyed. And it will require us to constantly be educating ourselves to keep ahead of the machines."
