While it might sound like something out of an episode of Black Mirror, scientists have warned that AI might be coming to take your job. Microsoft researchers have revealed the 40 jobs most likely to be pushed out by artificial intelligence - and the 40 most likely to remain human. And it's bad news for anyone who has been brushing up on their language skills, since interpreters and translators are right at the top of the list. Historians, writers and authors, political scientists, and journalists are also likely to face increasing automation in the coming years. However, it isn't just jobs involving reading and writing that could be on the chopping block.

Parallel parking can stress drivers out. The pulling over, sometimes in traffic; the honking as you maneuver and re-manuver; the fear of smashing into other cars or the curb; the vital questions at the end: Is the car close enough to the sidewalk? This is perhaps especially true in the US, where, outside of big cities, drivers rarely have to pull off such an operation. One 2010 study found that parkers' heart rates spiked in the midst of the act, as compared to even 10 seconds before. So it would seem to be the classic use case for automation: Let the robots do it.

If you thought the most highly-esteemed jobs in the world are immune to the robot revolution, think again. Wimbledon's line judges – a profession that goes back 147 years – have had their'love and passion ripped away' after being dumped in favour of AI. From 2025, new AI-powered technology called electronic line calling (ELC) will be used to make close calls during matches instead. So, could your career be next in the firing line? A new study has revealed the jobs at risk of being placed by robots – including several that involve years of training and qualifications.

With the boom in popularity of artificial intelligence (AI), attention has quickly turned to the impact such innovation could have on the jobs market. There are fears that thousands of human roles may soon disappear because of huge advances in automation, with it emerging only last month that the UK Government privately thinks a'substantial number' of civil service jobs will soon be obsolete. Not to mention there is also a growing Silicon Valley civil war about whether rapidly evolving AI technology is a good thing or a bad thing. Well, research suggests that air traffic controllers, midwives, librarians and those with a career in sales have little to worry about, but if you work behind a bar, as a window cleaner or in customer service, the news isn't quite so positive. Nor is it for waiters and waitresses, who at 72 per cent are at the highest risk of having their roles carried out by a robot, according to digital media company DailyAI.com.

The idea of a robot taking your job may sound like the plot from the latest episode of Black Mirror. But experts predict it could soon become a reality for many people in the future. Researchers from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne recently developed an interactive tool that reveals which jobs are most and least likely to be taken by robots. Their findings suggest that meat packers, cleaners and builders face the highest risk of being replaced by machines, while teachers, lawyers and physicists are safe for now. So how safe is your job?

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are certainly impressive at their ability to perform complicated tasks once thought only capable to humans. The revolutionary ChatGPT has been used to pass exams, deliver a sermon, write software and give relationship advice -- to name just a handful of its functions. But, for some people, these technologies have raised a scary question -- could they take my job? A study from Princeton University in New Jersey, US has revealed the 20 occupations most at risk of being made redundant thanks to AI. Taking the top spot is call centre operator, but the following eight are all teachers of different disciplines, including languages, history, law and religion. The authors wrote: 'The effect of AI on work will likely be multi-faceted. In some cases, AI may substitute for work previously done by humans, and in other cases, AI may complement work done by humans.

San Francisco's board of supervisors recently voted to let their police deploy robots equipped with lethal explosives – before backtracking several weeks later. In America, the vote sparked a fierce debate on the militarisation of the police, but it raises fundamental questions for us all about the role of robots and AI in fighting crime, how policing decisions are made and, indeed, the very purpose of our criminal justice systems. In the UK, officers operate under the principle of "policing by consent" rather than by force. But according to the 2020 Crime Survey for England and Wales, public confidence in the police has fallen from 62% in 2017 to 55%. One recent poll asked Londoners if the Met was institutionally sexist and racist.

When most people think of artificial intelligence (AI), they think of smarty-pants robots that can service our every whim. While real robots may be in the cards, the future of AI will also revolutionize the way we work (in real life and in the metaverse). In fact, AI is already in your workplace: You use AI when you use Google Maps to find your way to an off-site meeting (perhaps in a self-driving car?), or when you use spell-check for a report. The current state of AI and the future of AI goes far beyond simplifying mundane tasks, however. Artificial intelligence, or computers that are taught to "think" like humans, can make us healthier, less stressed and happier through advancements in medicine, manufacturing and more.

Sean Chou thinks robots are stupid. "All you have to do is type in'YouTube robot fail,' says Chou, CEO of Chicago-based AI startup Catalytic. Here, we'll make it easier: click to see robots fail. And even though they're getting smarter all the time and serving industry in novel ways, Chou is firm in his belief that "we're pretty far from'Terminator.'" It's that they're rising much more slowly than some of the more breathless media coverage might have you believe -- which is great news for most of those who think robots and other AI-powered technology will soon steal their jobs. The consensus among many experts is that a number of professions will be totally automated in the next five to 10 years. A group of senior-level tech executives who comprise the Forbes Technology Council named 13, including insurance underwriting, warehouse and manufacturing jobs, customer service, research and data entry, long haul trucking and a somewhat disconcertingly broad category titled "Any Tasks That ...
