AI Intelligence replacing Humans? Are you in the wrong eight industries that will be replaced in the next 10 years?

Over time and the development of science and technology, for some people, the future is full of exciting new technologies, and new opportunities, but for others, the future looks very worrying, of the university of Oxford, a study has found 45% of existing jobs will disappear in the next 10 years, some of the work will be fully automated, Or at least upgrade to a level that only requires a small percentage of the workforce. Will you be one of the unemployed?

If you're in a driving job, "you'll get out of a job pretty soon," which could be five years or 10 years. This is not alarmist, of course, because all driving jobs are on the verge of full automation in modern time. Take a truck as an example, a self-driving truck is not required to stop and rest. The most important thing is that today's autonomous driving technology is close to maturity. If you have paid great attention to Tesla cars, you will know that the next generation of Tesla cars will achieve 100% autonomous driving.

Ellen Musk himself has said that "it will take us one to two years to perfect the technology. And then another three years for the government to accept it". At present, most of the car manufacturers in the world are moving towards electric and autonomous cars, which will be reached in the near future. Driving in the car is like getting into the elevator. You only need to press a button, and it will take you wherever you want to go.

In fact, on a macro level around the world, agriculture has been automated, and in many developed countries only a few people, trained to operate heavy machinery, wirelessly connected, in the comfort of their offices. In the near future, people with the title of "farmer" will have the same status as bankers or senior managers, because only a few people will be in charge of our food when it comes to eating, and they will have a monopoly. If you think this sounds very absurdness, so might as well have a look at, perhaps only 10 companies in the world today, large control almost all food and beverage brands, you eat anything may come from one of them, these companies, including Coca-Cola, pepsi-cola, master kong, Pedigree Mars food companies, Kellogg's and so on.

In the past, the battlefield was decided based on who had the most troops, but these days it's a methodical game and you don't see people riding horses with bayonets and rushing into battle because it would be inefficient. Drones can hit targets more accurately than anyone else, without endangering the lives of pilots sitting comfortably in chairs on the other side of the world, although we may still need human soldiers, but maybe only for special operations. There are 8 million people in China who work as cashiers and in store sales, and they could come out of work "soon," sooner than we think.

It's easy to log in the dots if you've paid for attention to what the biggest business giants are up to. Amazon's purchase of Whole Foods for nearly $14 billion is the company's largest acquisition ever. The uniform company is conducting a pilot experiment of unmanned supermarket. When you come to the unmanned supermarket, you want to walk in and have what you need, and then walk out. All the things you buy will be automatically subtracted from your credit card or Alipay.

Welcome to the future. When the Industrial Revolution hit, a lot of farmers went to factories. They worked with semi-automated machines. Nevertheless, as technology improved, the same people were placed in charge of overseeing the machines, which in turn were able to make other machines that did not require humans. Let's compare Volkswagen's car factory 100 years ago to the way it works today. A lot of people came together to put the final product together, but today all you see is software at work. I wonder if you've ever heard this phrase: "The factory of the future will be just one man and one dog. The man will be there to feed the dog, and the dog will be there to keep the man from the machine."

Since the arrival of wheat and Alipay, many people have not gone to the bank for a long time, because we can check our balance at any time on our smart phones, and even the financial staff who are paid can automatically transfer money to our accounts. Even if you want to get cash to a bank and initiate an account, all you need is a smart ATM machine. Even if you need a specialized service, the human customer service video on the machine can help you do everything.

If we've learned anything from this video, it's that boring, repetitive tasks will be replaced by algorithms, what is the responsibility of accountants? That's going through and computing your raw data, which is what algorithms love to do, and where machines shine. 2015 Bloomberg studies found that only 10 percent of the stocks traded around the world every day are traded by real people and investors. The rest is made by computers, and as long as there's money. People will try to automate it, because that's the only way to obtain an edge over competitors.

The latter industry is probably the most controversial, you'd think people from creative fields would be immune to automation, but we might be wrong. Human actors are really, really expensive, and like most people, their lives have their ups and downs, and when you're investing hundreds of millions of dollars or more in a movie production or an AD endorsement, you don't want the project to fall apart because of some star's bad press. In the future more and more blockbusters may be based on animation, because these characters are completely at your disposal.

For another example, take the movie Iron Man, Robert Jr. Much of Mr. Downey's action is done through synthetics and special effects. Perhaps in the future, actors will sell their 3D images to big tech companies so they don't have to be set, which will save them a lot of money. Most of the people in front of the screen are probably immature, so when you make a bet on these traditional industries, it may not bring you the big returns you will expect in the future. I hope my friends will never be affected by artificial intelligence. What other jobs do you think that will be lost to automation? I'll see you in the comments section.
