Title
“Race against the Machine” by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew Mcafee
Introduction
Summary
The following report has provided a brief insight into the future of the globe as well as
the humans and the growing importance of Technology as well as the use of artificial
intelligence by the coming years. The article highlights the works of Erik Brynjolfsson and
Andrew Mcafee along with the work of Kurzwell where all the authors have mentioned about the
digital revolution of the globe and their impact on the humans and the globe itself
(andrewmcafee.org, 2018). The predictions of Kurzwell especially have been almost proved
absolutely right by the passage of time. Strangely in some of the cases his assumptions of
timings of some events have even occurred much earlier than the original prediction. The world
is going to be ruled by the robotic technology by the year 2045. It is believed that technology is
going to play one of the most crucial roles in the coming years. It is believed that technology in
the workplaces will cost a number of white collar jobs (Brynjolfsson, & McAfee, 2011).
Key Points of the Summary
Some of the key points of the following summary are technology, artificial intelligence,
impact on the globe and the accurate future assumptions by the scientists on the role of the
