Here Come The Robots

The World Economic Forum (WEF) concluded in a recent report that “a new generation of smart machines, fueled by rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, could potentially replace a large proportion of existing human jobs.” 

The organization cites that automation will supplant about 85 million jobs by 2025. 

Currently, approximately 30% of all tasks are done by machines—and people do the rest. 

However, by the year 2025, it's believed that the balance will dramatically change to a 50-50 combination of humans and machines.

In a little over 3 months, it will be 2023 which means the year 2025 is only 27 months away...  and, believe me, 27 months is going to fly by especially with a Democratic President until 2024...

Half our jobs will be performed by robots with artificial intelligence so what will those people do who lose their jobs?  

Will they be taught how to build robots?  

How long will that take?

Will these people have to relocate?

What if they cannot learn the skills?

What about all the illegal immigrants that are coming into the USA, what jobs will they do that robots cannot do?

Who will take care of the people who lose their jobs?

How long will unemployment insurance last?
