If you are sitting in front of a computer, driving a cab or doing house cleaning, stop for a moment and ask yourself: a robot could do this job better than you? Probably the answer is yes.
The debate about whether the machines will dispense with human labor power is no longer restricted to science fiction films.
The Boston Consulting Group provides that, by 2025, up to a quarter of the jobs to be replaced by software or robots, while a study from Oxford University, UK, points out that 35% of current jobs in the country are at risk of being automated in the next two decades .?
But there are other professions that are under threat
The BBC lists some of them:
Taxi drivers
Taxi Drivers around the world have waged a battle with Uber application. But both the Uber as vehicle manufacturers and even Google are already working to build a service that dispenses the presence of the driver.
At the end of this year, automated taxi modules will start operating on the streets of city of Milton Keynes, England, offering racing through the city. The British government is updating the signs to enable the operation of autonomous cars.
Factory Workers
In China, human are building robots eventually will replace them. The first factory only operated robots is being constructed in Dongguan City, famous working-class pole of China.
The factory, owned by SEHNZHEN Evenwin Precision Technology, seeks to reduce the workforce from the current 1.8 thousand employees by 90%, according to Chen Zingui, chairman of the company’s management.
Journalists
More and more companies offer software able to collect data and turn them in minimally understandable texts. This means that in the near future, the reports will no longer be written by journalists.
Kristian Hammond, chief scientist of Narrative Science, a platform that generates automated narrative content, estimates that in 15 years, 90 % of the news will be written by machines. He says, however, that this does not mean that 90% of journalists will lose their job.
Doctors
Robots may not be the best companions but they are certainly capable of analyzing data to discover possible treatments for diseases. Watson, an IBM supercomputer, is working together with dozens of US hospitals to offer recommendations on the best treatments for various cancers. And from the software developed by the company, is also help detect skin cancer at an early stage.
Barman
The luxury cruise Anthem of the Seas launched recently a pioneering idea:. an automated bar from Shakr MAKR, a machine developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA) a few years ago
Drinks can be ordered through a tablet and users are not limited to the menu to get to the table -. can even create your own cocktail
