Jobs Artificial Intelligence Will Take Over First

The robots are coming for your jobs. At least, that’s what RS Online reckon. We’ve all seen firsthand how quickly technology around us is evolving, but have we ever stopped to think of what that might mean for our future career prospects?

A recent study has found by the year 2030, there could be a number of sectors who’re suffering from the threat of robotic replacement. Some of the areas which could be worst affected include:

• Manufacturing. Where 46% of jobs could be at risk.

• Transportation and storage. With 56% of roles under fire.

• Real estate. Where 28% of jobs are at risk.

• Retail. 44% of jobs in this sector could be lost to robots.

It’s hard to imagine a near-dystopian future where man has been replaced by machine. But, in truth, we’ve already seen the introduction of robotic workers in factories. If this trend continues as predicted, the future of the jobs market could be utterly different to what we know today.

Is your job on the chopping block? While you shouldn’t start panicking just yet, it might be worth brushing up on some skills which aren’t directly related to your current industry. Check out the infographic below for a full picture of how robots could change the world around us.
