What�s the difference between AI (Artificial Intelligence) and augmented

intelligence? AI has been �causing the general public to have unrealistic fears
about artificial intelligence and improbable expectations about how it will change
the workplace and life in general.� Will we be replaced by robots?

The new term �augmented intelligence� is meant to neutralize those fears, and focus
on how AI can enhance human intelligence instead. There is weak AI, such as Apple�s
Siri, and strong AI, which can find solutions without human intervention.

By 2020, AI will replace 1.8 million jobs and create 2.3 million. And 83% of
companies using AI believe that it is already adding jobs.

The Truth About Developing High Income Skills
A six figure yearly income can make a huge difference in a person�s lifestyle. It�s
the difference between constantly wondering �Can I afford it�, and not minding if
you�re getting $4 coffees in the morning.

But how long does it take to master high income skills? Weeks or even years,
depending on your dedication and how often you implement the skills. For example,
high ticket closing and copywriting can be mastered much faster if you dedicate
time to serious practice and if you have a mentor to give you feedback for
improvement.

For each of the high income skills of 2020, your ability to learn about your
specialization (copywriting, digital marketing, public speaking, sales, etc),
whether you work for an employer or you�re self employed, and the city/country
where you work will all affect how much you make.

People in highly specialized fields may require years of work related experience
before they make a high income. Other people who have the discipline and mindset
can make a high income within weeks, although this is more typical for commission-
based work.

Your ability to sell your skills to employers or clients has a tremendous impact on
your income. Closing skills makes a difference in the types of clients you work for
(high paying ones ideally) or the jobs you accept (closing your future employer on
compensating you at the high end of your income bracket).

Summary
These high income skills that will make you a six figure yearly income are some of
the most in demand for 2020.

The amount of education and experience you need to make a high income in these
industries varies. Some of these skills require a degree, job training, and the
equivalent of senior or management level experience.Other skills only require a
high school diploma, the completion of some courses and certification.

In all cases, the ability to close is what will get you earning a high income,
especially if you are self employed and looking for high paying clients, or making
a commission-based income. Entrepreneurship, for example, gives you a high
potential to become a millionaire or billionaire, but your business could also
fail, leaving you in debt.

If you don�t want to take such a high risk, work for an employer while you hone
your high income skill. In any case, you still have the potential to make a six
figure income if you master one of these skills that are highly in demand.
