What if robots and AI take our jobs?

Tank, the roboceptionist, greeted my family and me when we visited Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute in Pittsburgh, Penn. In Hamilton, not once have I received a greeting from a robot. It was fascinating to compare two steel towns; Pittsburgh and Hamilton both struggled due to the decline of manufacturing economies. Today, Pittsburgh boasts of its future as a brighter technology-centric economy surrounded by Robotics Institute, Apple, and Google. Nevertheless, Mayor Bill Peduto is facing backlash as unions are protesting the displacement of workers.
