We have sandbox engineers

Artificial Intelligence—The Revolution Hasn’t Happened Yet
I’m also a computer scientist, and it occurred to me that the principles needed to build planetary-scale inference-and-decision-making systems of this kind, blending computer science with statistics, and considering human utilities, were nowhere to be found in my education. It occurred to me that the development of such principles—which will be needed not only in the medical domain but also in domains such as commerce, transportation, and education—were at least as important as those of building AI systems that can dazzle us with their game-playing or sensorimotor skills.
I am a mathematician, and we do too understand the singularity, and are building as we speak.  Here is a primitive first start:

The radical plan to change how Harvard teaches economics

They do not yet have it right, but give them a year and they will be producing sandbox engineers. Sandbox engineers can micro price content, that is artificial intelligence communications in plain text and reading our stuff and doing deals with us.
