Robot Radio

While most of us enjoyed an uneventful Labor Day Weekend, not everyone was chilling at the lake or chowing down at a family barbecue. Many Americans are actively sweating their jobs – not because of the state of the economy but because of rapid advances in robotics.

Some unexpected job categories and professionals are apparently on the robotic chopping block, thanks to production efficiencies and the rapid development of AI. This includes workers in hospitality, transportation (think autonomous cars), manufacturing, and retail. That's a lot of jobs that could vulnerable to the Robby's and the Rosie's.

But even medical workers may be replaced by advanced robots, droids, drones, and automatons. As the Boston Globe notes, “Machines can monitor vitals, and devices can administer medicine automatically.” Machines are routinely reading X-rays while robots are performing surgery with precision. Who needs a doctor or a nurse?

Even your accountant isn't safe, thanks to increased automation in tax returns and other functions that once required a pencil and paper. Software like “Turbo Tax” do the work once done by CPAs.

We've seen much evidence of advanced technology in recent years at CES, where robots of all sorts, shapes, and sizes perform myriad functions – whether it's reading stories to your kids or showing you how to cook souffles. Every year, these robots look cuter and more human, thanks to their inventors serving to make them seem more approachable and accessible. https://jacobsmedia.com/
