The Logical Automation – Guy Perelmuter – Medium

We have already discussed in this space the 2013 work written by University of Oxford's Carl Frey and Michael Osborne, where they discuss the probability of automation for several occupations and concluded that no less than 47% of current jobs are highly likely to be automated in the coming decades. But what distinguishes a career destined to be taken over by artificial entities -- robots, computers or any other device -- from a career with some protection against automation and which will majorly remain, therefore, in the hands of humans? Which careers are "immune" and which ones are "doomed"? The answers to these questions are no longer as simple as they once were. A few years ago, it was relatively safe to say that the jobs in the greatest danger were associated with repetitive and manual tasks -- and, in fact, these positions are now in the process of automation.
