We will "see more technological advances over the next ten years than we have over the last thirty. It's just going to blow everything away," says Cuban, who himself started out as the child of a blue-collar family from Pittsburgh. He and Todd Wagner launched the internet start-up Broadcast.com and sold it to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in 1999.

Google recently started using AI and has added $9 billion to its revenues as a result, Cuban has been told by sources within the Internet search giant. "Whatever you are studying right now if you are not getting up to speed on deep learning, neural networks, etc., you lose," says Cuban. "We are going through the process where software will automate software, automation will automate automation."

As the pace accelerates, Cuban says the most desirable jobs and skill sets in the workforce will change. "I would not want to be a CPA right now. I would not want to be an accountant right now," says Cuban. "I would rather be a philosophy major." As computers and robots increasingly replace technical skills, critical thinking will become yet more valuable. "Knowing how to critically think and assess them from a global perspective I think is going to be more valuable than what we see as exciting careers today which might be programming or CPA or those types of things," Cuban says.
