We're all doomed...
Robots on factory lines is one thing, but a robot doing my job, or yours is a lot more scary. The only chink of light is that different studies have said that in 20 years a third of people will be doing jobs that don't exist now.
A “robot revolution” will transform the global economy over the next 20 years, cutting the costs of doing business but exacerbating social inequality, as machines take over everything from caring for the elderly to flipping burgers, according to a new study.
As well as robots performing manual jobs, such as hoovering the living room or assembling machine parts, the development of artificial intelligence means computers are increasingly able to “think”, performing analytical tasks once seen as requiring human judgment.”
