AI, The Missing Middle And The Future Of Work
summary
A clear claim: AI creates a Missing Middle of jobs where people and machines form assemblages, not poles. Examples: Accenture reports automating a process that removed 500 roles but retrains those workers; AI is projected to add about $8 trillion to the US economy and $1.5 trillion to Germany over ~20 years. Concrete tools and pilots: personality trainers for virtual agents, Autodesk Dreamcatcher design generation, Mercedes e‑class cutting automation under 50%, GE Predix digital twin, mixed‑reality assembly and AI‑driven urban farming.
