humble3d Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Robots will take over most jobs in the world by 2045 As we reach the middle of the 21st century, half the population of the world will lose their job to a machine. Yes, this is another 'robots will take our jobs' story. The latest comes from Moshe Vardi, professor at Rice University , Houston, who delivered a talk to the American Association for the Advancement of Science , exploring the question: "If machines are capable of doing almost any work humans can do, what will humans do?" Future belongs to the machines Vardi reckons that half of workers across the globe will be replaced by machines within the next 30 years, wiping out middle-class jobs and "exacerbating inequality". He noted that robots would take over in many spheres of life, including automated driving and sex robots. As the Guardian reports, he also observed that this future is likely to mean humans have much more leisure time — indeed we may only work a handful of hours per week. .. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/52617490.cms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMountain Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'll be old & wrinkly by the time 2045 rolls around. At least I'll have a machine to wipe my butt for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
