Some of the experts who are predicting that 30 million jobs will be taken over by robots by 2035 are now worrying about what the government will do with all the redundant staff from transport, factory and office jobs when we have robots driving everything, building everything and screwing up all the record-keeping.
Creative people like writers, actors and accountants will still be in demand but the experts think that there will have to be some cosmetic jobs for humans, whose work will command the same sort of premium as organic products today – not as good as what the machines do for twice the price.
The experts think that giving employers a tax break will encourage them to take on cosmetic humans. But it is more likely that employers will realize it’s just not worth it any more, jack it all in and let the machines be entrepreneurs.
