Will Robots and Artificial Intelligence Take Your Job?

A 2014 Pew Research Center study asked nearly 2,000 experts about how technologies like robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) would affect jobs. About half said a significant number of jobs, both blue- and white-collar, would be gone, potentially resulting in massive unemployment, income inequality and a complete breakdown of social order. While we're used to factory jobs being lost, the rise of AI will be vastly more far-reaching. In "18 Jobs That Are Most Likely to Be Killed off by Computers," we listed jobs in jeopardy, ranging from equipment operators to physicists. Computers equipped with AI are now even writing articles, so journalism jobs could also one day follow dial phones and camcorders into history.
