Oxford University professor of Machine Learning Michael Osborne studied the characteristics of 702 jobs and figures 47% will be replaced by robots in the next 20 years.
Some industries will be hit more than others. He predicts that 87% of accommodation and food service jobs will be lost. 75% of transportation and warehousing jobs will be lost.
Jobs that are relatively safe include upper management (the suits always look out for themselves) and creative-type jobs that require lots of contextual knowledge.
Jobs that are in particular danger are low skill jobs.
I can imagine a wonderful brave-new-world coming in which only a privileged elite have jobs, incredible incomes and net worth, while the majority of the population are unemployed and live on public assistance. (Or alternatively, finally have the freedom to live lives of leisure.)
