AI takeover (1)

Robots 'could take 4m UK private sector jobs within 10 years'
AI Takeover



AI takeover refers to a hypothetical scenario in which artificial intelligence (AI) becomes the dominant form of intelligence on Earth, with computers or robots effectively taking control of the planet away from the human race. Possible scenarios include replacement of the entire human workforce, takeover by a superintelligent AI. This article discusses this exact issue of automation and how it will have a wider impact on jobs. 

  • In the UK, 13% of employers think more than 30% of jobs will become automated in the next 10 years
  • Four million jobs in the British private sector could be replaced by robots in the next decade, according to business leaders asked about the future of automation and artificial intelligence.
  • The potential impact amounts to 15% of the current workforce in the sector and emerged in a poll conducted by YouGov for the Royal Society of Arts

Personally, I feel that something like this is inevitable. Technology will always be improving; people's jobs will be at risk because of this.
