Will robots take your job?

A new report released by the International Bar Association suggests that machines will most likely replace humans in high-routine occupations such as lawyers and accountants in the near-future. New developments in AI and robotics will affect both blue and white collar jobs.

One of the authors of the report, Gerlind Wisskirchen, believes that governments need to introduce human quotas in some sectors in order to protect jobs.

Business futurist Morris Miselowski is predicting job shortages will be a reality in the future as the world population heads towards 7 to 10 billion.

Are you worried about robots taking your job, or the job of your family members?

The worlds population is stabilising then falling.

Their will be a shortage of labour .

Aotimation will increase productivity therefor wealth .

The living wage is already being mooted and will happen .

We have no idea of the jobs of the future .

I think the future looks great ..

Only lawyers and accountants?I say we should replace politicians with robots, might get some intelligence in to the system.

There are many robotic politicians already in the system, possessing that robotic stare as they show every day that they just don't care.

Might as well introduce the plastic and metal ones, they could at least be programmed to show some empathy.

A highly regarded research team in the US initially thought that there would be no bet effect of robotics on jobs but when they crucnched the numbers and did a detailed analysis they changed their view as it became apparent that robice was going to result in less jobs with fewer new ones to replace them and falling wages.

It should not be rocket science that taking almost half of the jobs off the market is going to cause huge problems in soiciety. Whilch one of us can lead a productive life on dole style payments which are continually targetted by the top end of town and their governments. Not worth thinking about.

I would like to read that report Mick

I was looking for the article where the 2 well regarded authors were named but no sure which of the mailings I receive it was in. I'll have a further look for you but there is a wealth of discussion and analysis of one sort of another on the topic and most pundits recognise the claim of money trickling down the chain as the outright fraud it is.

Start by having a look at this link, not that it is the panacea of studies. It does however bring in those who debubk the lie of aiding the poor:
