Rise of robotics in workforce

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, robots will apparently take over about five million jobs. It is the latest in a series of figures economists have released projecting the impact that Artificial Intelligent systems and machines will have on the human workforce. Economist and director of consultants Alpha Beta, Andrew Charlton, says that automation is affecting predominantly white-collar jobs more and more than it ever has in the past. The jobs most at risk of being replaced by machines are those in administrative and routine white-collar office functions. Furthermore, some industries where machines already play a large part, like manufacturing and production, will see further robot substitution.
