I think the title says it best already. A couple of snippets:

"McKinsey & Co. researchers estimate that by 2025 robots or automated software will be able to do the jobs of 140 million knowledge workers."

"... Davos regular Stu Eizenstat, a former official in the U.S. State and Treasury departments who’s now at law firm Covington & Burling LLP. If leaders aren’t careful, we’ll have “a revolution that disenfranchises a lot of middle class people and breeds a lot of resentment,” he said."

""Fundamentally," Banavar said [IBM's vice president for cognitive computing], "people have to get comfortable using these machines that are learning and reasoning.""

Sadly, not, although it will appear that way for 10-15 years.
