Impact of robotics in our lives a reality that we find hard to accept ¿ true or false?
The forecasts in terms of employability warn that 30 years from now half of the jobs we know today will be made by robots, as Panda Security points out in their analysis. In principle, this loss will not affect the tasks in which human creativity intervenes, but it will force people to acquire and develop new skills.
Human VS robots: this will be the impact of new technologies in the world of work
However, and according to a report prepared by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), only 12% of jobs in Spain are in serious danger of being automated. In addition, the study indicates that 50% of the functions of each work will undergo great changes due to automation.
While it is true that the emergence of artificial intelligence will affect a large number of jobs, such as bank teller or supermarket, train machinist or teleoperator, will also lead to the emergence of new roles motivated by the automation of production processes.
From the point of view of productivity, artificial intelligence will contribute significantly to improve the production chains of companies, to the extent that automation systems have a more accurate intelligence, immediate and safe than human.
¿Are we Prepared to Work Elbow With Elbow With a Robot?
According to a study carried out by OpenText, and collected by the aforementioned agency, 69% of respondents indicate that they would not encourage their company to hire a robot if that means reducing daily administrative tasks. In addition, 62% say they would not feel comfortable working with a robot.
This scenario in which robots and men coexist in the same work environment is getting closer. According to data from the International Federation of Robotics, the number of industrial robots installed in the world will reach 2.6 million units by 2019.
Everything seems to indicate that artificial intelligence will continue to accelerate the progress of industrial robots and modifying workplaces. In addition, the integration of robots in the workplace will continue to be the subject of debate over the next few years.
