Artificial Intelligence Will Not Take Up Half of Our Employment

There have been some alarming reports recently about the possibility of artificial intelligence leaving half of the world potentially unemployed. Recent research shows that within 30 years, robots will be in a position to perform almost all jobs that are held by humans right now. A recent detailed study from the Martin Oxford School has speculated that approximately 47 percent of U.S. jobs are at risk of automation. As there may be some truth in this report, it is not likely that half of the world's jobs will be taken by machines in 30 years. Additionally, some of the jobs facing the risk of automation might not be automated because of technical, societal and economical reasons.
