5 office jobs that may go to robots in the future - Automation Watch

About 35% of UK jobs will be automated by robots over the course of the next 20 years, a study suggests. With low-wage jobs being the first to go, those who work jobs that require repetitive actions will find their work automated by machines. But it's unlikely to stop there, and in this article we look at five office-based roles that have a high (95%) chance of being automated. The job of the humble telesales executive may be at risk of being completed replaced or, heavily augmented by the use of computers, depending on how quickly artificial intelligence develops. If a robot could sufficiently enchant a potential customer in the same way a person can, companies will call time on their human employees over night.
