[Second Amendment First]

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.

“Nearly half of American jobs today could be automated in “a decade or two,” “

Yeah, and apparently everyone expects these complex machines to materialize out of thin air and then work flawlessly forever after.

Nobody has to design them, build them, monitor them troubleshoot them, repair them or install them.

Can’t wait to se the behemoth that will replace me at my work of on-site monument inscribing and repair. I’ve speced it out in my head and believe me it’s a doozey.

Software programming.

Can I get one to pull weeds in the garden and do some housekeeping?

What Jobs Will the Robots Take?

The ones American's don't want to do

[RoosterRedux]

Robots will give a leg up to thinking humans...but they steal jobs from those humans unwilling to think.

Hookers. I definitely see Cyborg Hookers within 50 years. They can be made to look like any woman you desire.

In a freer economy new jobs replace the old. The straight-jacketed government-subsidized econmy of today will prevent that for quite a while, quite a while.

First the managers repace the workers with robots... then the owners replace the managers.
Yes, Twilight Zone did it way back,

When will the Equal Rights/Wages for ROBOTS movement begin?

[Pajamajan]

Congress.

Bender2 PING- your input is requested here.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Triple the minimum wage. That will slow down the automation process.

Once people start replacing wives with robots, I suppose the libs will want to legalize robot/human marriage. Which I think is much better than gay marriage. After all, a robot probably won’t be causing problems with unsafe sex… unless the human dies from sex with the robot then in that case there will be a fight over the robot inheriting everything. Automation, auto-mating, whatever.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Robots will only take jobs Americans and illegal aliens won’t do.

Gadzooks! Let me sleep on it... and I'll get back to you--

[discostu]

Everything manual, everything repetitive, and everything semi-skilled or less.

[Billthedrill]

There are some qualities that machine intelligence simply doesn’t have: creativity, originality, articulation, analytical capacity, wit, humor. If you don’t need any of those things, you’re set. That is why I, Unit 315B, have been doing BilltheDrill’s postings for the last decade.
