When railroads came along, many might have worried that horses would be displaced. But, in fact, trains increased demand for horses because they were needed to move people and cargo from the train station to the final destination. So horses seemed secure in the face of technological disruption! But then came cars, trucks and tractors. Suddenly horses could not compete because the internal combustion engine was better at nearly everything they could do. Consider the analogies: Railroad for horses == Computers for people Cars/trucks for horses == Advanced AI for people New edition of my book publishing on June 2:
