Robots and the future of employment

What will the future of the job market be like with the development of machines and technology?

artificial intelligence? Which jobs will survive? Who will fill them?

In Robots and the Future of Work , Martin Ford discusses the new and impending industrial revolution, which raises troubling questions. As technology continues to accelerate and machines become independent, fewer jobs are needed.

Today, there are programs capable of selecting evidence for trials, managing project execution within a company, and competing with humans in various games. Furthermore, research indicates that machines are already capable of performing 45% of the tasks performed by humans, and that many of the jobs Generation Z will hold don't even exist.

With the impressive results being achieved in this area, artificial intelligence could render obsolete jobs such as customer service, data and document analysis and selection, and many others that are performed more quickly by machines. This scenario requires professionals to develop new skills.

In this book, Ford details what artificially intelligent automation and robotics can accomplish and urges employers, academics, and government agencies to address this reality.

It's necessary to decide, now, whether the future will be prosperous or catastrophic. Robots and the Future of Work is essential reading for anyone who wants to secure their future economic prospects—not to mention those of their children—and discover what they can do to improve them.
