Will smart machines learn to behave like humans? Will robots take over most of our work? Are we ultimately creating our own obsolescence through our obsession with automation? Christoph Burkhardt, an innovation psychologist and Silicon Valley expert, provides answers to these questions. "Many smart machines already behave quite similarly to humans today. But the real challenge lies with the people who behave too much like machines," says the San Francisco-based author. "In most cases, we rely too heavily on the power of technology to drive change. Companies react instead of actively shaping the transformation." Christoph Burkhardt presents seven survival strategies that focus on uniquely human skills and traits, which we need to develop over the next two decades.
