Welcome to the future, citizen, where employees not replaced by robots will be granted raises based on their predicted performance by a computer.

And no, this is not some dystopian vision of the future: IBM is already doing just that – using their "Watson" artificial intelligence to look at an employee's "experiences and projects" and integrating data from their internal training system to assess whether an employee has gained new skills. 

According to Bloomberg, when performance review time rolls around at IBM, employees get judged not only on their past accomplishments (and failures) but also on how they will perform in the future.
