Introduction

In 2013, Frey and Osbourne published a working paper titled The Future of Employment: How Susceptible are Jobs to Computerisation?

Naturally, this created quite a stir and suddenly many people were asking themselves: Will Robots Take my Job?

Consider the following technologies that have already been deployed:
  • Automated cars and trucks (Tesla, anyone?)
  • Order-picking robots (think: Amazon warehouse)
  • Automatic industrial floor scrubbers (I don't see anybody complaining about this one)
  • Agricultural drones 
  • Welding robots
  • ...and that's just a tiny start!
