JOBS WHITE-COLLAR PEOPLE WON'T DO:
Smart robots could soon steal your job (Ivana Kottasova, January 15, 2016, CNN Money)
Think you are too smart to be replaced by a robot in your job? Think again.Experts are warning that skilled jobs will soon start disappearing because of the rise of artificial intelligence. [...]The prices of robots and computers are falling, making them even more attractive to employers. Costs have declined by 27% over the past decade and are expected to drop by another 22% in the next decade, the Bank of America report stated.And as robots become easier to use, with features like machine learning, and voice and facial recognition, they're becoming a more viable alternative in jobs where people deal with customers.Countries that can adopt new technology early will get a big boost from lower labor costs and higher productivity.
