The robots can deprive people of work.
Robotic mechanisms since the early 60-ies. are used for weight lifting and various production optimization. Since then artificial intelligence has evolved to such an extent that in some areas can completely replace the man. According to the statistics report of the Bank of the United States, robots by 2025, will carry 45% of all production tasks. Now this figure is estimated at 10%.
A recent study conducted by scientists at Oxford University showed that in the next 20 years 35% of some popular in our time professions will be given to robots. Demand will be professions which need quick calculations, and since these robots can handle easily. Come down to the fact that computers are faster and better people to compile software. Several years ago, the IBM supercomputer Watson easily won in Jeopardy (analogue in Russia — “jeopardy”). One of the reasons for high automation of labour – cheapening of robotics. Over the past decade, the price of robots decreased by 27%, and in the next 10 years, Bank of America predicts a decrease of prices by 22%.
Look at the ranking of occupations, where robots can replace people.
10. The taxi driver
Many autowinder and high-tech companies develop autopilot system. Some, such as Tesla Motors, have already implemented systems of automatic control of the vehicle. While the technology is being adapted and tests. In addition, for successful implementation need to collect a lot of documentation, permits, etc. Development of self-driving vehicles is hampered by the lack of a unified standard. But once all these problems are resolved, the sad statistics of car accidents can leave in the past. As drivers-taxi drivers.
In 2014, specialists tested up to 10 machines, able to do without drivers. So, the car from Google drove on a busy highway the United States more than 1 million km, never got in an accident. In Australia now tested 45 “unmanned” vehicles.
9. Workers in the factories
Since the advent of the first robotic mechanisms in factories robots started to replace workers. On automated lines, conveyors, people are still present, but with the advancement of technology machines can completely replace humans in factories
8. The workers in the service industry
In the field of service robots first of all will replace people. Robots don’t need to pay salary, they are not wrong because of negligence and not of bad moods seemed to be rude too picky client.Today some of the systems are customer service automatic. In any major city you can find ATMs, payment terminals for different services, vending machines food, self-checkout, automated Parking. In the last 2 years even libraries have started to dismiss their employees and replace them with robots. While this trend has not gained a mass character, but there is no doubt that this is a matter of time.
7. The waiters
In some restaurants in Japan and China today will not find waiters: their work is done by robots. For example, Name the Robot Restaurant is the first restaurant in Thailand in which all the work here took on the robots. As cooks (at least visible) working robots, the menu is quite simple. On the buffet you can take anything, and the robot then remove the dirty plates. By the way, robots don’t just go between the tables, but also entertain the visitors with dances.There is no doubt that in ten years most of the establishments prefer robots to people. Most likely, by that time they will learn not only to take orders and bring meals, but even to spread them on the table. After that, the robots can start to gradually replace and cooks.
6. Journalists
Analysts predict that soon journalism will also carry robots. Already tested software products, able to generate news. Forbes magazine today enjoys the services of robot journalists to create and verify annual reports, and in the edition of the Big Ten Network robots to quickly write and publish the latest sports news.On assurances of developers, it is much cheaper than to keep editors, and performs computer work faster than man.
5. Lawyers
Robots take away the jobs of lawyers, but this will affect mostly Junior staff. Already existing systems help lawyers and attorneys to find the necessary documents, relieving them from routine work. In the future artificial intelligence will be able to more efficiently deal with this problem, improving the speed and efficiency of the companies. The robot-lawyer Ross, developed by IBM based on artificial intelligence, Watson, is employed in the international law office of Baker & Hostetler. Robot has determined in Department, which conducts business related to the bankruptcy proceedings. At the moment there are 50 employees. Ross is able to understand the questions and answer them hypotheses, which argues quotations c references to the professional literature. Thus cyberdiet, eliminating large amounts of irrelevant information helps the lawyers and the increasing number of requests increases its efficiency. In addition, the artificial intelligence constantly updates database of court proceedings and notifies the lawyers about precedents that may affect the consideration of current Affairs.
4. Doctors
At the current pace of development soon can be reduced by many doctors: a successful surgery with robots as is already underway in the USA, and supercomputers help diagnose and monitor the condition of patients. Over the last 5 years robots have been performed thousands of complex operations that could not be trusted with living people. Machine more accurate and faster compared to man.In several clinics in the U.S. as a diagnostician operates the supercomputer Watson from IBM. The result of the analysis and processing of more than 605 thousand medical documents and 25 thousand case histories was the fact that the computer is able not just to diagnose but to determine the best method of treatment. The developers note that Watson, in many cases, shows the diagnostic accuracy better than physicians-people.
3. Pharmacists
Leading companies will soon begin on an industrial scale to produce robotic pharmacists. The effectiveness and performance of the machines in tens times surpasses human performance. Robots never get tired and never make a mistake due to carelessness. It is clear why large pharmaceutical companies with billion-dollar Corporation see replacing people with machines only benefits. Therefore, pharmacists will be forced out by robots one of the first. It is expected that this will happen by 2020
2. Soldiers
To cyborgs-terminators is still far, but the combat system modernizarea continuously. And the military increasingly use robotic equipment. Widely used unmanned aerial vehicles, air defense systems with remote control, robots for demining and other machines. It is too early to say that the war will be conducted without any participation of soldiers. While the machines are only a tool in the hands of man.
1. The astronauts
If astronauts robots are still can not replace, the robotics able to perform in person the dirty work on the space station. For example, the robot NASA and General Motors by the name of Robonaut2 (R2) furrowing the earth’s orbit. It can also work inside the ISS, and in space, and in the near future it is planned to plant R2 on the moon.NASA officials along with four universities to develop a program mission, the center of which – humanoid robot, pilot a spacecraft that is sent with a mission to Mars.
