Most Brits currently favour humans as opposed to robots in a handful of occupations

The automation of work, including the use of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), is expected to rapidly increase. In fact, recent research by think tank'Centre for Cities' found that one in five jobs in Britain will fall victim to automation by 2030. These findings are further echoed by auditing firm'PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC)', who estimate more than 10 million UK workers will be at high risk of being displaced by robots within the next 15 years. As the prevalence of automation becomes more common in our day-to-day routines (supermarket self-service tills, air travel self-check in etc.), it's threat towards human jobs only becomes more apparent. Interested in this phenomenon, Reboot Digital Marketing analysed findings from Mindshare, who surveyed more than 6,000 individuals from across the UK to see whether they would prefer robots or humans in eight different occupations/scenarios.
