Are Robots Really Coming For Your Job?

Update: 2017-04-26

Description

Silicon Valley investors pummeled some $188 million last year in voice enabled bot technology. This growing trend threatens to replace some of the most common jobs in America, including cashiers and administrative assistants. In this episode, General Catalyst Managing Partner Phil Libin joins to talk about the issues behind the investments. The founder and former CEO of Evernote, Libin has already invested in several chat bot startups and thinks the technology will revolutionize the way we work moving forward. But what does that mean for today's frontline workers? Caroline and Chip ask Phil to weigh in by connecting him to several cashiers and personal assistants working today across America.
