A recent report by the Los Angeles Times indicates that up to 38% of American jobs are at risk of being occupied by robots by the early 2030s. This alarming prediction is based on the advancement rates of artificial intelligence and technology. Food service, hospitality, truck driving, and other low wage jobs are at risk of being automated. Many Americans who work in these fields should be alarmed, thus working towards jobs or careers that require particular skill sets.

The study confirms the increasing gap between the rich and poor members of society. Americans with careers or jobs that require skills and/or education shall continue to thrive in the working world while blue-collar workers are replaced by artificial intelligence. Service industry jobs are dying. It is critical for Americans to obtain prowess if they wish to succeed in the modern world.

They already have. We are all robots. Mankind died out centuries ago. You’re just programmed to think you are a real person and to see other robots as real people.

This. Even many interactive jobs will be replaced by computers and AI. It is inevitable.

How that change will impact our economy is the million dollar question.

Stupid question. Obviously SOME jobs will be lost. As phrased, the question is meaningless.

It’s impossible for robots to replace all jobs, because then no human would have money to buy products made by robots.

As of this moment, it can go only in one direction: more and more jobs taken over by robots. It cannot increase forever. At some undetermined time in the future, the increase will level off.

Bottom line: if you can get a job producing robots, you’ll have a job for a long time. And don’t expect there to be robots manufacturing robots and putting robot builders out of a job.

Well, unless the robots pay taxes and buy stuff, I’m gonna say the effect will be negative.

IF they only replace all government bureaucrats would be wonderful.
Just think of the money saved.
