“As machine intelligence improves, the value of human prediction skills will decrease because machine prediction will provide a cheaper and better substitute for human prediction, just as machines did for arithmetic. 

However, this does not spell doom for human jobs, as many experts suggest. That’s because the value of human judgment skills will increase. 

Using the language of economics, judgment is a complement to prediction and therefore when the cost of prediction falls demand for judgment rises. 

We’ll want more human judgment.”
