If you're an accountant, lawyer or data analyst, a robot may soon take over your job. A new report from the International Bar Association suggests machines will most likely replace humans in high-routine occupations. The authors have suggested that governments introduce human quotas in some sectors in order to protect jobs. Gerlind Wisskirchen, a lawyer for labour and employment law, coordinated the study, which started one-and-a-half years ago. "We thought it'd just be an insight into the world of automation and blue collar sector," she said.

Greater protections are needed to stop robots stealing your job, according to a renowned organisation of international lawyers. Legal experts are concerned that the pace of developments in artificial intelligence are outstripping the ability of global governments to make laws to deal with the consequences. And they are worried that this is leading to is gap between current legislation and new laws - including'human job quotas' - that they feel are necessary to protect people from being replaced by machines. The International Bar Association has issued a report detailing the threats posed to people's jobs by artificial intelligence. The International Bar Association has warned that up to a third of graduate jobs around the world could be made obsolete by artificial intelligence.
