Afraid of being robbed by robots? Teachers, lawyers and physicists are "the safest occupations"

2022-04-29

Although it sounds like a plot in a science fiction movie to let robots replace human work, a new study warns that great changes will take place in future functions, and even many people's work will be really replaced by robots and face the crisis of layoff. The Swiss Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne recently announced which jobs are most likely and least likely to be replaced by robots in the future. Among them, the 10 jobs that are most unlikely to be replaced are physicists, neurologists, preventive physicians, neuropsychologists and clinical neuropsychologists, pathologists, mathematicians, CEOs, surgeons, molecular and cellular biologists and epidemiologists. The 10 types of jobs most likely to be replaced are: slaughterhouse and meat processing packers, builders, stamping and textile workers, sorters and agricultural products processors, janitors and security workers, nurses, packers, restaurant and cafeteria waiters and bartender assistants, catering workers, domestic servants and vehicle cleaners. The researchers found that meat packers, builders and cleaners faced the highest risk of being replaced by machines, while teachers, lawyers and physicists were "the safest occupations". The key challenge facing today's society is how to make automation equipment more flexible. Our work provides detailed career suggestions for workers with high degree of automation and high risk coefficient, so that they can engage in more secure jobs and extend some new skills from traditional jobs. In this study, the research team combined the scientific and technical literature on robot capabilities and the employment and wage statistics of 1000 jobs to calculate which jobs are most likely to be replaced by robots in the future. The project conducted several studies to predict how much work will be able to realize robot automation. They mainly focus on software robots, such as voice and image recognition robots, financial consultants, chat robots, etc. In fact, these predictions fluctuate greatly according to the job requirements and the evaluation method of software capability. Floriano pointed out that we have considered not only artificial intelligence software, but also intelligent robots engaged in manual labor. At the same time, we have developed a method to compare and analyze the actual operation ability of humans and robots in hundreds of jobs. The team's calculations show that jobs that require millimeter motion accuracy are most likely to be done by robots because robots can copy these actions. They are most likely to be replaced by robots that lack creativity and critical thinking skills at the same time. Eventually, they ranked half a thousand jobs in the order most unlikely to be replaced by robots. Overall, the study shows that food processing, construction and maintenance, construction and process refining are most likely to be undertaken by robots. On the contrary, education, training and library, community service and social management are at the lowest risk of being replaced by robots. Based on the above research results, the researchers propose a method to provide the simplest career change suggestions for those who will face the risk of unemployment in the future, and point out that the relevant governments can effectively reduce the tide of unemployment in the future. According to their view, the future slaughterhouse and meat packers can be transformed into fabric winding and twisting workers, or traction machine setters, operators and bidders. At the same time, the future cleaners are most suitable to be undertaken by robots. It is reported that shortly before the release of the latest research, the world economic forum warned that robots are expected to take over more than half of the tasks of manual manufacturing by 2025. The study predicts that robots will quickly replace humans in areas such as accounting, customer management, industry, postal services and secretaries. At the same time, jobs that require "interpersonal skills" such as sales, marketing and customer service, as well as the demand for e-commerce and social media, should also increase. The study points out that retraining employees will be a major challenge because they will be forced to update their work skills, especially in terms of "creativity, critical thinking and persuasion". It is essential that some enterprises should play an active role in supporting the existing labor force through skill training and upgrading, individuals should actively carry out lifelong learning, and government departments should create a favorable economic environment to promote the transformation of this new labor force, which is an important challenge in our lifetime.
