secretary of state rex tillerson will be in moscow today where tensions are high over the u.s. cruise missile strike on a syrian air base. tillerson has called the russians incompetent for not stopping the attack. he'll meet with the russian foreign minister. but he has no plans to speak directly with vladimir putin. major garrett reports. >> reporter: what comes next is a question most on their minds and a big question inside this white house as well. >> this is a president that's not afraid to act. >> reporter: trump administration officials called the president decisive but were divided on the future of u.s. policy in syria after the cruise missile strikes. >> what we're trying to do is defeat isis. >> reporter: united nations ambassador necky -- nikki haley and rex tillerson agreed the

fate of isis was more important than that of syrian dictator bashar al-assad. >> the first priority is the defeat of isis. >> reporter: but the two top diplomats differed. tillerson suggested the fate of assad was in the hands of a country beleaguered by six years of war. >> we can navigate an outcome in which the syrian people will determine assad's fate. >> reporter: while haley called for assad's ouster. >> there's not any sort of option where a political solution's going to happen with assad at the head of the regime. >> reporter: this led lindsey graham to describe a new trump approach. >> regime change is now the policy of the trump administration. that's what i've heard. >> what's required is some kind of political solution to that very complex problem. >> reporter: national security adviser h.r. mcmaster said syria's civil war with its many factions and feuding terrorist cells rests at the heart of the policy dilemma, dislodging assad some fear could be just as bad or worse than the status quo. >> it's very difficult to understand how a political solution could result from

continuation of the assad regime. now we're not saying that we are the ones who are going to effect that change. >> reporter: an equally pressing issue? how to handle syria's top military ally, russia. >> i hope that russia is thinking carefully about its continued alliance with bashar al-assad because every time one of these horrific attacks occurs, it draws russia closer in to some level of responsibility. >> reporter: tillerson is traveling to moscow and will soon meet with sergey lavrov to find out if the vladimir putin government is willing or interested in backing away from the assad regime at any level. the white house is also dealing with a staff shakeup. k.t. mcfarland is out as the deputy national security adviser. she was brought in as part of the leadership team under fired michael flynn. she will soon be nominated as the next ambassador to singapore. inside syria, some of the survivors of the syrian gas

attack are not too impressed with president trump's attack on the air base. syrian air force jets are still taking off and strategying bombing runs on the same town that was hit by the gas. holly williams has the story. >> reporter: this is the face of syria's civil war. abdul hamid al yusef lost 29 of his family members last week, including his wife and twin babies. i wanted my daughter aya to be a doctor, he said, and achmed was going to be my sidekick. he buried them on wednesday, the day after the attack on his hometown. you chose to carry your babies in your arms to be buried. why did you do that? because that's how i carried them when they were alive, he said. i loved them so much, and i know they loved me too. abdel hamid told me he put them next to each other in their grave and told them not to be scared.

even in the cruelty and chaos of syria's six-year-long conflict, the attack stands out for its brutality. it happened on abdel hamid's second anniversary with his wife. six years ago, he told us, he was taking part in peaceful protests against the syrian president, bashar al-assad. an uprising that met with violence. assad is a criminal, he said. all we wanted was dignity and freedom. do you think that the american missile strike will make any difference? i thought it was a good start, he told us, but the regime airstrikes haven't stopped. his 16-year-old nephew, achmed, was released from hospital yesterday. they, like their country, have been broken by this war.

president trump has vowed to bring jobs back to america. but what if those jobs don't exist anymore? these days, automation is making a lot of professions obsolete. david polk of yahoo finance took a ride on the road to the future. >> reporter: tony hughes has been a long-haul truck driver for more than 20 years. but today, all he has to do is sit back and relax. >> okay. rosebud is on. woo-hoo. >> reporter: we're hauling 20,000 pounds of freight down the florida turnpike in a self-driving, robotic truck. it's been retrofitted with a kit. these two founded the company in 2016. >> we think that sometime toward

the end of the year we could be doing this without a person behind the wheel. >> reporter: this year? >> yeah. >> reporter: self-driving trucks this year. >> yeah. >> reporter: and if it's not his company, it might be otto whose truck made headlines by driving across colorado to deliver a shipment of beer. otto is owned by uber which has also been testing self-driving taxis in pennsylvania and arizona. but here's the thing. once our trucks and taxis drive themselves, what will happen to the people who used to do those jobs? in the u.s., that's 180,000 taxi drivers, 600,000 uber drivers and 3.5 million truck drivers. >> we really need to start thinking very seriously about this. >> reporter: martin ford is the author of "rise of the robots." he says driverless cars and trucks is just the beginning of a wave of automation that will

threaten millions of jobs in every industry at once. like america's nearly 5 million store workers. later this year, shoppers in seattle will be able to walk in to the first amazon go grocery. take what they want and walk out again. sensors will detect what you take and bill you automatically. >> the cashiers are totally gone. you're going to end up with the equivalent of a walmart with, you know, a handful of employees. you scale that out, and that's just extraordinarily disruptive. >> reporter: you name an occupation, and there's somebody considering a robot to take it over. >> look how delicate, perfect every time. >> reporter: at zume pizza in silicon valley, four specialized robots help make the pizza. eventually, the company plans to replace the remaining humans on the line, too. here's zume's chief technology officer, josh goldberg. you would think there would be some roman pizza chef who would say no, this is not the way it's been done since our ancestors.

>> as the world changes, there's a lot of other things we don't do like our ancestors did either. >> reporter: the common wisdom is that robots threaten repetitive, blue collar jobs. not so, says martin ford. >> we're seeing dramatic advances in the area of computers analyzing tumors, mammograms and being able to find disease. we're seeing algorithms moving to areas like journalism for example. >> reporter: wait, wait, certainly not journalism. >> oh, yeah, absolutely, journalism. by one account, every 30 seconds, there's a new story published that's machine-generated. >> reporter:al goe rit i amf >> reporter: they're even threatening the masters of the universe, two weeks ago, black rock, the world's largest money manager announced that it's laying off dozens of human stock

pickers and replacing them with robots. by 2025, across the financial industry, artificial intelligence is expected to replace 230,000 human workers. >> bring on the disruption that is automation. >> reporter: this is the chief information officer at goldman sachs. the company now hires nearly as many computer engineers as financial workers. >> reporter: in the movie "wall street", they would be barking buy, buy, buy, into the phone. >> now they're going click, click, click. >> reporter: a quarter of these people aren't traders. they're coders. writing software to automate the routine grunt work of employees all across the company. someday, could software replace the functions of these folks? >> that's a great question. i don't think anybody knows the answer. >> reporter: all right, we get it. no job is safe. according to one recent study, 47% of american jobs could be lost to automation in the next 20 years.

martin ford says it's time to start thinking about what we're going to live on in the post-robot economy. >> one of the best ideas out there is a guaranteed minimum income. >> reporter: and this is where everybody gets let's say $10,000 a year just for being alive. >> right. a better way to think of it is the idea that we built this tremendously prosperous society. everybody ought to have, if you're a citizen at least, some sort of ownership stake in this. >> reporter: but the purpose of having a job is not just to have income, it's also meaning and purpose and a place to go every day. >> that's right. that's going to be a real challenge. i think it's a challenge we can solve. >> reporter: ah, but wait. most experts do agree that automation will soon take over millions of our jobs, but they don't all agree that that will mean mass unemployment. >> history has suggested that the pessimists have been wrong time and time again. >> reporter: including m.i.t. economist. david otter.

>> the last 200 years, we have incredible automation. we have horstractors that do th work that horses used to do. we don't do bookkeeping with books, but this has not reduced the amount of employment. >> reporter: he also points out that the changes won't happen overnight. >> i'm sure 20 years from now, almost no one will be driving a vehicle. young people are forward-looking, and they'll say, i'm not going to have a driving career, so i won't go there. >> reporter: but they may think i'll go to retail, that's going away. maybe i'll be a chef. that's going away. maybe i'll be a paralegal. but that's going away. >> it's the year 1900, and 40% of all employment is in agriculture. so some twirpy economist teleports back in time to farmer pogue. and says 100 years from now, only 2% of people are going to

be working in agriculture. what do you think the other 38% of the people are going to do? health and wellness, software, mobile devices. most of what we do barely existed 100 years ago. >> reporter: in other words, just because we can't predict what we'll be doing doesn't mean we'll be doing nothing. and, sure enough, despite having replaced so many stock traders with software, alisha says that goldman sachs still employs the same number of people. and that their jobs have been enhanced by automation. >> all of a sudden, that young person is engaging with the client on their actual problems, rather than being stuck till 1:00 a.m. doing nothing but manning several different spreadsheets and trying to corral all this data together. >> reporter: you'll hear the same argument at starski robotics. its trucks will self-drive only on the highways. the companies will still employ human drivers, but they'll sit

in front of screens, drive the trucks by remote control once they're off the highway. and if tony hughes can keep his job without the weeks away. >> so in that aspect, it's going to make my life better. >> reporter: if you get hired to be one of the pilots, the remote control pilots. >> sure. >> he's on the top of the list. >> reporter: this might be my last chance to be in a truck with a human driver. i had to ask. >> will you? >> yeah, i will. >> reporter: yes, yes. i'd like to see a robot do that. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. ♪ lysol max cover kills 99.9% of bacteria, even on soft surfaces. one more way you've got what it takes to protect. two kids barfed in class today.
