Every breakthrough—bicycles, cars, radios, smartphones—has triggered headlines about lost jobs and ruined morals. Today, artificial intelligence is in the hot seat.

- Why nonstop "job destroying" innovation hasn’t led to universal unemployment
- The archaic jobs that vanished and the new careers that rose in their place (farewell knocker-uppers; hello alarm clock factory workers)
