Kantar - 83% of UK believe smart AI will eventually replace humans at work

Artificial intelligence (AI), robots, automation and machine learning are concepts that are appearing more frequently in mainstream media as the technology behind them is constantly improved. But do people in the UK see these making a real difference to how they live their lives? According to a survey this week by Lightspeed, 83% of UK adults believe that AI will one day be smart enough to take over from humans in many types of job, with 27% of respondents claiming this day will come'in my lifetime.' Will machines take over from real people in manufacturing and industry? With Brexit (and a drop in the cost of robots), it's hardly surprising that so many people see this scenario on the horizon.
