Technology is replacing jobs. Are you ready?

what can we do to protect ourselves from

robot automation the CEO explained that

machines will replace traditional labor

this is all about artificial

intelligence and how much faster it can

process human labor is never going to be

cheaper as we get more advanced and

we're just going to have to adjust to

that and deal with the

results for 3.3 million years humans

have developed Technologies to make our

lives easier

these inventions made us more efficient

and meant we didn't have to spend as

much effort working to

survive but each new development came at

a

cost when bronze tools were invented all

the guys who made stone tools were

driven out of work and when iron tools

came came along all of the bronze

workers lost their

jobs when the Industrial Revolution hit

it wiped out the livelihoods of millions

of cobblers and Weavers who had to adapt

or get left

behind and this process continues

today only now it's happening faster

much much faster

all kinds of routine jobs have become

automated in the past few years thanks

to breakthroughs in Technologies like

Robotics and radio frequency

identification Computing and high-speed

networking and at the same time another

powerful force globalization is making

it easier for companies to move jobs

overseas where wages are lower and

regulations are less

stringent in the past 20 years the these

two forces technology and globalization

have wiped out millions of American jobs

in manufacturing from Detroit's autop

plants to North Carolina's textile

mills and it's not just manufacturing

jobs we're now entering a dramatically

new phase where High skill jobs are also

at risk here's

why since

1965 computer processing power has

roughly doubled every 2 years

all of the computing power that

controlled the Apollo Mission To The

Moon can now fit on the chip inside your

smartphone and in a few decades

computers will be thousands of times

more powerful than they are

today already computers use artificial

intelligence to easily beat the world's

greatest Chess Masters recognize faces

understand spoken

language and even compose

music they can do many of the things

that we've always thought made is human

and that threatens many of the jobs

we've always thought were

secure take drivve in a vehicle which is

one of the top jobs in Most states in

America with driverless cars already on

public roads millions of truck drivers

bus drivers and taxi drivers May soon

find themselves obsolete

in hospitals hundreds of thousands of

jobs are on the line as computers learn

to analyze catch scans and biopsies

deliver low level anesthesia and even do

surgical

procedures and in restaurants hundreds

of thousands of cooks may be replaced in

the coming decades by machines that can

follow recipes perfectly without ever

taking a sick day or a smoke

break an Oxford University study

predicts that within 20 years years 47%

of all jobs are at risk of being

replaced by

technology that's over 70 million

people and at the same time

globalization is also affecting High

skilled jobs in ways that it never has

before law firms for example are

beginning to Outsource work to lawyers

in developing nations who are trained in

American law these lawyers can do legal

research and even review contracts for a

fraction of the cost of an American

lawyer now just as technology and

globalization destroy jobs it's

important to point out that they also

create jobs by generating new Industries

and new markets for American

Products we don't know exactly what the

future is going to look like but we do

know this millions of American workers

white collar and blue collar young and

old are about to face enormous

difficult

transitions we're living longer than

ever before and will'll be forced to

change our jobs more often than any

people in

history we're going to need to learn new

skills constantly throughout our careers

to keep from being left

behind this revolution in the job market

is not coming in the distant future it's

happening now and it's going to

accelerate

it's going to affect all of us our

friends our families and our

communities are you ready visit us at
