Dear Hive account@julianhorack and Hive account@everyone else reading :)

I absolutely love topics related to AI, robots and job market :) So let me say it: GREAT CHOICE OF TOPIC buddy

According to the University of Oxford, almost 50% of all jobs will be replaced by robots in years to come

I've been thinking a lot about it and my impression is, that the fact that entire world is slowly entering recession and economies are slowing down ... it will surely also slow down this process of replacing all those jobs with robots and AI.

Plus Goverments and regulators will most likely step in (feeling increasing pressure from unhappy population).

Will you enjoy more leisure time or will you be left without a means to make money to survive?

Leisure time? Ehm. I think people need purpose for living and leisure time will end up with tons of suicides (left and right). Wouldn't you agree?

So even ideas similar to Universal Basic Income (UBI) wouldn't resolve problem of huge unemployment.

Also it is important to remember that all those changes will require huge investments. Even replacing track drivers with automated lorries .... that would mean that we need millions of those lorries. We don't even have infrastructure that would allow to satisfy market within next years to come.

And if we will indeed enter recession, then banks will stop giving loans until economy will recover. And that will pretty much stop most of those advancements. Without credit - there will be very little progress. Wouldn't you agree?

Personally I'm more afraid of social impact of all AI, that is creepying into our lifes. AI can soon be our best friend. After all most people seem to be very lonely and AI will be able to recognize our moods and will know us so well .... that it may become our best friend :)

And these AI workers are popping up in some unexpected places as the years unfold. No job is safe anymore.

I almost agree :) In my opinion those jobs that require quality human customer service are the safest. And those that require creativity. But yeah, most jobs can be "threatened".

ps.
I would love to upvote it but I drained my voting power (below 70%) so I need to recharge it first. Till next time :)
