Revealed: Jobs at risk of being taken over by robots, artificial intelligence

DUBAI: With technological advances being the norm, many of the everyday tasks have slowly been replaced by computer-enabled machines, robots or automation -- from watering the plants, sweeping the floor to driving to work or checking blood sugar levels. Innovations aren't just happening on the homefront and in many companies, there has been a widespread adoption of cool new technology. Eventually, as more employers get more high-tech, a number of workers will see their jobs taken over by their non-human counterparts. In its report released on Tuesday, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) identified the specific occupations that are at risk of being replaced by automated technology or artificial intelligence. Ranked highest on the list are those at the bottom of the payscale, including labourers, cleaners and helpers, garbage collectors, assemblers and food preparation assistants.
