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.

We have known, for decades now since the prophet Steve Martin told us, that robots are stealing our luggage.

A viable socialist utopia requires robots to do our bidding. That is, until someone starts agitating for robot rights.
