RE: Which jobs will robots take over from humans first?

in #technology7 years ago (edited)

Great insights jacor and I absolutely agree although the list could easily be expanded with several more job titles. Everything that is rule based is highly likely to be taken over by machines within a fairly short time frame. Even driving can be analyzed (big data) and managed by rules. This is exactly what Tesla is doing by analyzing data from all the current cars on the streets. Today Tesla is very close to releasing autonomous cars that will replace drivers around the world.

I would like to comment further on the "Writers" section you mentioned in your fine article. We already do have machines writing readable pieces for online publications within the news and sports sections. The automation of writing jobs will only increase, but, it is only certain writing jobs that are of imminent "danger" of being replaced by machines.

All writing that can be based on data are ideal tasks for robots. Especially data based jobs that can be compared with other data sources to find correlations of interest seem interesting.

Creativity on the other hand is not very rule based thus making it difficult for machines to compete with real human beings. We have already seen robot written poems and such, but humans still have an edge in creative writing.

Actually I believe that good writers are fairly well positioned for the future of AI. Creative Steemians for an example are probably one of the last "professionals" to be replaced by robots.

Just my thougts :)
