Curiosity is a very interesting human trait. Scientific studies have proved that it's closely related not only to an individual's employment, but also to a country's economic results and political freedom.
Nobody is probably surprised by one of the conclusions of this year's World Economic Forum that people who are willing to adapt and learn new things will be less likely replaced by machines.
On the contrary, those who build their career on optimizing their performance consisting of standardized and repetitive activities, will be replaced by machines very quickly.
All learning requires at least a small amount of curiosity. So the question is whether machines, or artificial intelligence, can be as curious as people.
