  • These highly repetitive, regulatory intensive, and error-prone processes jobs are being replaced by computer systems.
  • The real job creator will be entirely new categories of jobs that we can’t even think of yet.”

~ Brandon McGee ~ Leave a comment

  • “Called Deep Brew, this isn’t about a flavor of coffee or tea. Deep Brew is the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) program, and it’s all about “nurturing humanity,” as Johnson put it.
  • For Starbucks, AI will be going through the mounds of data it already has in areas like scheduling, inventory, and restaurant traffic.
  • The Deep Brew plan looks to flip this narrative. Instead of technology robbing us of human interaction, Starbucks will use it to automate menial machine interactions, freeing employees to engage with their job craft and interact with the customer.”
