While computerization has been historically confined to routine tasks involving explicit rule-based activities, algorithms for big data are now rapidly entering domains reliant upon pattern recognition and can readily substitute for labour in a wide range of non-routine cognitive tasks. In addition, advanced robots are gaining enhanced senses and dexterity, allowing them to perform a broader scope of manual tasks. This is likely to change the nature of work across industries and occupations.

I expect to see robots doing police work at some point. Say flying drones checking speeds on the highway then landing to issue citations.

Once the robots unionize, no one will have to worry about them taking over jobs.

politics - DBots will be programmed with variants of the ‘From each according to his ability, to each according to his voting pattern’ algorithms and RBots will be programmed with ‘we agree with and cave into the DBots’ algorithm.

What Jobs Will the Robots Take?POTUS? Congressman? Shoot, couldn't be any worse than it is now. We'll just have it read the Constitution. Hell, a robot might even believe it was supposed to obey the thing.

All the white collar workers who said ‘neener neener’ when the blue collar workers were replaced by automation and robots will themselves be replaced by AI.
Once the elites no longer have need of us to make their world go round the fun’ll really start.
Think they’re just ranting about a world population of only 100M people? They’re serious. The rest will be non human workers. Why do you think they’re harping and obsessive on population control? Do you think they want to save the planet for YOUR children? HA!

‘Feed us because we can’t find a job to match our IQ’ voters.
Your job will be next.
45 years ago most Obama voter types were employed. In jobs that have since been automated. What do you think will become of the IQ 100 and below population? With AI make that IQ 125 and below. Will you be willing to support them with your taxes? Will you simply watch them starve in the streets? Euthanize them? Sterilize them? What will you do with people who can no longer find a job because they’ve been replaced by non human workers.
Inquiring minds want to know.

State legislators will require professional registration of all occupations in order to protect human labor.
