The 12 jobs most at risk of being replaced by robots
Panera CEO Ron Shaich says robots will eventually replace his workers. "Labor is going to go down," Shaich said in an earnings call Wednesday. "And as digital utilization goes up -- like the sun comes up in the morning -- it is going to continue to go up. You are seeing it happen in Panera today." Panera has been implementing technology like touch-screen ordering stations for customers, which allow them to bypass interacting with any human workers while dining at the restaurant. They could replace up to half the US workforce within the next decade or two, according to a Bloomberg report published last year.
