Will Robots take over our jobs in the future?

Will Robots Takeover?

Robots vacuum floors, automate machines, and restock fridges; it’s understandable people are starting to ask will robots take over? Continually improved automated software makes human workers redundant to a number of individual roles. Organizations and employees will need to adapt, learning how to respond and remain a thriving part of most working environments.

Does this mean they’re a threat?

Automation and AI isn’t a new concept, but its constant development has seen millions of people lose jobs to machines. It all sounds rather depressing! The truth, however, is they also create new opportunities to learn new skills. With more innovative systems and tools,  it allows us to create more efficient and exciting work. Fortunately, new technologies bring new jobs for people that work in conjunction with these new technologies. It becomes a new industry itself. There’s a good reason for the symmetry between these because that’s precisely what it provides.

You can see this has happened Historically

If you look at the industrial revolution for example which also involved new technology, but the most significant catalyst was the new, organised methodologies and well-planned manufacturing processes which swallowed millions of the public jobs overnight. People felt intimidated as technology aggressively retired their skills leaving the economy seemingly unpredictable. But in the 20^th century, these improvements created new job opportunities like an automation worker, airline pilot or missile mechanic; the list goes on. My point is that previous generations would never have dreamed of these, so although you need to be aware and ready to react to how technology emerges, it’s not the end of the world. At worst we will have some short-term disruption, but with the ability to have even higher growth and productivity long term.

Don’t be afraid of new machines, robots or technology, use it to make your own work more productive and embrace innovation instead!
