We both know the era which we are about to come to, the
Terminator era, I mean robots but not designed to kill you but to help with
different daily chores.
A lot of concerned has been raised by concerned people that
the robots will replace humans in various sectors of the economy. For you to
know whether you can be replaced ask yourself, the job I am doing, maybe a taxi
driver, doctor, can a robot do it better?
Today we want to go beyond to the future and predict which
jobs robots will take first from humans.
There is a lot of debate about whether machines will
eliminate the need for human employment, and the debate is no longer just
academic.
Boston Consulting Company predicts that by 2025, up to
quarter of jobs will be replaced by either smart software or robots, will the
Oxford University has suggested that up to 35% of the existing UK jobs are at
risk of automation in the next 20 years.
Some jobs are already being done by machines, some are
obvious, like in the future or now some companies don’t need secretaries,
writing reports and maybe booking hotels rooms is done by smart software.
SmartPlanet took some study to explore various sectors to
see which jobs are at risk in the recent future. Let’s have a walk.
Factory Workers.
I think all of you were expecting this, because you have all
the current automation in Companies.
Let’s take a look at China; people are already building
robots that will automatically take their jobs.
Since September last year, a total of 505 factories across
Dongguan have invested 4.2bn yuan in Robots, aiming to replace more than 30,000
workers, according to Dongguan Economy and Information Technology
Taxi Drivers.
We both have had of driver-less cars which are currently on
development by major companies like Google, Amazon, Uber. They are already
looking beyond a rival service to one that gets rid of the driver.
As chief executive puts it – the service would be a whole
lot cheaper if you weren’t paying for that dude in the car, the driver.
Later this year, automated taxi pods will start running on
the streets of England’s Milton Keynes, offering rides around the town. The UK
government is already updating Highway Code to take account of driver less cars.
Journalists.
The chances are if you recently read a corporate earnings
report on Forbes or sports story on AP, it was written by a robot.
Narrative Science chief Science scientist Kristian Hammond
has previously said that in 15 years’ time, 90% of the news will be written by
machines, but he said again that it won’t mean that 90% of the journalists will
have to go.
Doctors.
A robot may not yet have a good besides manner but it is
pretty good wading through huge reams of data to find possible treatments for
diseases.
IBM’s supercomputer Watson is teaming up with dozen of
hospitals in the US, offering advice on the best treatment for a range of
cancers.
Robotic surgery is not foolproof through recent safety
report found that machine-based surgeries were linked to at least 144 deaths in
the US over the last decade.
For now man and robot work side to side, but won’t last for
long.
Cocktail waiter.
Royal Caribbean’s luxury cruise ship Anthem of the Seas has
recently installed a robotic bar. Drinks can be ordered via a tablet and users
aren’t limited to set a menu.
Those jobs are among the better examples of jobs that
machines are about to take. We can increase the list by your help, just comment
and we will add it here, Thank you.
