WILL A ROBOT TAKE YOUR JOB?
|
WILL A ROBOT TAKE YOUR JOB?  Above is an office from the 1920s and below is an office in the future once intelligent machines have taken over the world of work. Recent research, undertaken by academics at the University of Oxford, predicts that 35 per cent of jobs in the UK are at high risk of being computerised over the next twenty years. The BBC, as part of a series on intelligent machines, has a webpage on the likelihood of certain occupations being automated within the next twenty years. Worried that a robot may replace me in my workplace, I typed in my occupation. As a teaching and educational professional, I am 0.8 per cent at risk of being taken over by an intelligent machine. My occupation is one of the lowest-risk occupations for automation. The robots can keep out of my office! The lowest-risk occupations are hotel and bar owners/managers at 0.4 per cent. If you want to keep your job, run a bar! Other low-risk occupations are social workers, nurses, therapists, psychologists, artists, designers, engineers and senior managers. The highest risk occupation is a telephone salesperson at 99.0 per cent - it serves them right for bothering people with unwanted phone calls! Other high-risk occupations include secretaries, administrators and clerks. For those who want to check how at risk their occupation is, just search for 'will a robot take your job?' which will lead you to the BBC’s webpage. How at risk is your occupation or previous occupations from automation? How have computers changed, or how did they change, your line of work? Are you worried by the rise of automation in the workplace? The only benefits of the so-called computer revolution for my work have been word-processing and e-mailing. Other developments have just been froth! Experts are trying to reassure us that machines will not take over the world, because artificial intelligence at the moment cannot replicate human intelligence. But for how long will it be for machines to become more intelligent than humans? I am worried because I don’t believe the benefits of automation will be spread evenly between people. Those who own and control the artificial machines will be the new elite. And maybe one day the machines themselves will be the elite! Perhaps the Luddites weren’t wrong but were just ahead of their time!  |

How at risk is your occupation or previous occupations from automation? Not much, since I am retired. How have computers changed, or how did they change, your line of work? My form work, military was greatly enhanced in many areas, better to have a heap of trash on the ground than a person Are you worried by the rise of automation in the workplace? No sense being upset about something I can not influence. But I refuse computer assistance in making orders for products

How at risk is your occupation or previous occupations from automation? Automation bothers me less than outsourcing that takes away jobs. How have computers changed, or how did they change, your line of work? Working with computers provided decent income. Are you worried by the rise of automation in the workplace? I am worried for the same reasons you are - uneven distribution of benefits.

How at risk is your occupation or previous occupations from automation? According to the BBC, "van drivers" have a fifty seven per cent risk of being replaced by robots. I'm retired, so that's already automated. How have computers changed, or how did they change, your line of work? They made some of it easier and some of it a pain in the ass. The big problem is that we got reliant on digital systems instead of the reams of paperwork we used to use. And when the system went down, we were helpless. Us old timers who came up the old way knew that you could take a pencil and a blank bill of lading and create your own paperwork as you went along. You'd still have a legal document verifying that you had performed the contracted service. But that was too radical a concept for the techies. They didn't get it. It seems technology is an end in itself. Are you worried by the rise of automation in the workplace? An alternate economy will spring up, and under culture with its own black market in goods and services, I think. A lot like that portrayed in Margaret Atwood's "Oryx and Crake." There isn't a lot of point in being worried about it. In many ways, we're already there. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I am retired but where I worked is in trouble not by automation, but because of the internet!

As a psychologist, I am not to worried. Computers don't have nervous breakdowns but people whose jobs have been taken by robots do...As tax preparer, computers are already taking over. I just hold peoples hands and talk them through the paperwork.

How at risk is your occupation or previous occupations from automation? Not at all they still need the troops on the ground to defend the country How have computers changed, or how did they change, your line of work? They said it would make most jobs easier and less people. So they deleted a lot of clerks out of jobs and guess what 5 years later brought them all back in since they found out they needed them. Are you worried by the rise of automation in the workplace? not at all. hugsssss V Become a blog watcher sweet_vm

I very much doubt that they will ever automate being a child minding grandmother.  In my previous career automation greatly speeded up my workload....I used every bit of my computer skills to make my job easier. I don't know about the irse of automation in the workplace....if used well it will be of great benefit....however there are people who will abuse it.  ~~Anais Nin~~

The BBC said mine was "too close to call" at 57%. (or 159th out of 366.) My company keeps up with the latest technology. We will be getting new tablets soon that will be able to process the new credit cards (that Europe has been using for years). I am not worried. I can't wait to be replaced by a robot. It will be revolutionary. Countless lives and fuel will be saved when cars are driving themselves. I have studied this extensively. The technology is there today. (Or it almost is.) Adopting it will take time. (Twenty years is totally doable, but I doubt we'll quite make it.) I do share your concerns about people having equal access to the highest technology. I cannot say how that will play out. I have hope that it will basically even the playing field in most places, but I'm sure it will be a huge problem in some areas of the world.

1 - No risk, I don't work since 4 years due health troubles. I wish a robot could be sick instead of me, by the way. 2 - When I was working, that compi fuss was a pain in my ass. What's wrong with a goose feather when you have brains ? 3 - No, but it should reduce work time instead of raising unemployment, holy shit !

According to the research, authors and writers have a 33 per cent risk of being automated out of a job, much higher than I thought! We need to wage war against the robots!

The future for humans is not looking good!

With the Internet, a lot of people often self-diagnose which is often quite dangerous and alarming. My ex-partner self-diagnosed all the time and would ignore her doctor's advice!

I support John Gray's view that technology is just leading humans into further servitude!
