Yes, robots will take our jobs

Across numerous industries throughout the decades, there has always been a pervasive fear that robots are going to take our jobs.

When we think of these robots taking our jobs and get angry, we're holding on to an antiquated task view of the world that, with or without us, is going to change.

Economists predict that by 2030, robots will have assumed 20 million jobs from human workers.

The new normal demands not only human oversight for robotic implementation but complementary roles that will see human jobs created to work in conjunction with these so-called robots.

This isn't to say that the jobs robots will be taking are not worth the effort of humans to keep for as long as possible.

In order to properly hand off task-oriented and functional jobs to automation, they must be studied, practiced and broken down into singular bits of information that could then be programmatically trained to an AI system or physical robot.

These advances wouldn't exist without fighting through the resistance to automation taking jobs.

The idea of robots taking jobs has always brought with it a generally negative view of the entire picture.

The focus is often on a singular job or role that has been replaced by a robot rather than the jobs created by that automation.

AI brings with it the ability to analyze unimaginable data sets, automate previously unattainable processes, and bring forward a future that will ultimately provide jobs for everyone.
