In the next 15 years, jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence and robots

  

With the development of artificial intelligence technology and the popularization of robot applications, human work crisis has been paid more and more attention. Recently, according to the latest research report, nearly 40% of jobs in the United States may be replaced by artificial intelligence and robots in the next 15 years.

According to the article of CNBC, according to the latest research report of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), nearly 40% of the work in the United States may be replaced by artificial intelligence and robots in the next 15 years.

Other developed economies will also have a large part of jobs replaced by robots. This research predicts that nearly 30% of jobs in the UK will be replaced by AI and robots in the next 15 years, 35% of jobs in Germany will be replaced by AI and robots, and 21% of jobs in Japan will be replaced by AI and robots.

Among all developed economies, the United States, which is replaced by artificial intelligence and robots, has the highest proportion of employment, because many jobs in the United States require simple work skills, such as filling jobs.

From the perspective of industry, the transportation, manufacturing and retail industries are greatly influenced by the artificial intelligence and robot industries.

PwC determines the possibility that specific work can be automated based on the type of work, and then predicts that the workplace is AI and the possibility of replacing robots.

PricewaterhouseCoopers research shows that in the financial services industry, employment opportunities in the United States are easier to automate than those in the United Kingdom. Although the types of services in the United Kingdom and the United States are very similar, retail services in the United States are more common and routine. Although Britain's financial services industry is more professional, especially in the international banking industry, with higher education, it is difficult to be replaced by automation and robots.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the number of jobs in German manufacturing that can be replaced by artificial intelligence and robots in the future is greater than that in the UK. Therefore, Germany has more room for automation.

In Japan, the work of artificial intelligence and robots has been replaced with the lowest proportion, because compared with other countries, Japan has always had a high level of automation. In Japan, many jobs require high skills and experience. For example, in Japan's retail industry, workers are required to have the same job management and organizational ability as other countries (in fact, Japan applies automation and intelligence in various fields, such as vending machines in fast-food restaurants, robots for handling complicated matters, etc.)

The researchers pointed out that the government should take targeted measures to reduce the impact of large-scale unemployment on the rise of robots. For example, increase technical training.

Even so, the Trump administration does not seem worried. It is estimated that by 2030, nearly 38% of jobs in the United States will be replaced by robots and artificial intelligence.

Steve Monisin, Secretary of the US Department of Commerce, said that artificial intelligence and robots will certainly replace human work, but this is not the agenda of the government. He believed that artificial intelligence and robots will replace human work for at least 50 to 100 years
