      yeah. the answer is there in the name of their job: they are (kinda) managing things. activating their bullsh!t generator to avoid public outcry, bad reputation. the a$$hole in this video, f.e., wanted to explain that all the employees (loading the shelves now) will stay employed just to assist the customers in their choices. bullsh!t. some employees are already there to do that. every store has a certain number of them. a number the leadership see fit. suddenly, they employ all the shelf loaders for that chit-chat role, right? :- ) Managers are managing bullsh!tgenerator 2.0

      Agreed. I’m a programmer and I can tell you, I’ve never once been given a job where I was asked to avoid replacing the work of human labor. These companies should just tell the truth and simply warn the market that human labor in many sectors will gradually reduce as smarter machines start entering the workforce. This is not the second industrial revolution, the technology is becoming general purpose now. This enables the machines to be retooled programmatically to take on most new jobs that may be created from the robotic replacement of the old jobs, something humans historically did when technical advancements were made in an industry. It went from farms, to factories, to retail. Where will it go next?

    *_Some Very Interesting Predictions.._*
    *1-Auto repair* shops will disappear.
    *2-A petrol/diesel* engine has 20,000 individual parts. An electrical motor has 20. Electric cars are sold with lifetime guarantees and are only repaired by dealers. It takes only 10 minutes to remove and replace an electric motor.
    *3-Faulty electric* motors are not repaired in the dealership but are sent to a regional repair shop that repairs them with robots.
    *4-Your electric motor* malfunction light goes on, so you drive up to what looks like a car wash, and your car is towed through while you have a cup of coffee and out comes your car with a new electric motor!
    *5-Petrol pumps* will go away.
    *6-Street corners* will have meters that dispense electricity. Companies will install electrical recharging stations; in fact, they’ve already started in the developed world.
    *7-Smart major* auto manufacturers have already designated money to start building new plants that only build electric cars.
    *8-Coal industries* will go away. Gasoline/oil companies will go away. Drilling for oil will stop. So say goodbye to OPEC! The middle-east is in trouble.
    *9-Homes* will produce and store more electrical energy during the day and then they use and will sell it back to the grid. The grid stores it and dispenses it to industries that are high electricity users. Has anybody seen the Tesla roof?
    *10-A baby of today* will only see personal cars in museums. The FUTURE is approaching faster than most of us can handle.
    *11-In 1998,* Kodak had 170,000 em- ployees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt. Who would have thought of that ever happening?
    *12-What happened* to Kodak and Polaroid will happen in a lot of industries in the next 5-10 years … and most people don't see it coming.
    *13-Did you think* in 1998 that 3 years later, you would never take pictures on film again? With today’s smart phones, who even has a camera these days?
    *14-Yet digital* cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones only had 10,000 pixels, but followed Moore's law. So as with all exponential tech- nologies, it was a disappointment for a time, before it became way superior and became mainstream in only a few short years.
    *15-It will now happen* again (but much faster) with Artificial Intelligence, health, autonomous and electric cars, education, 3D printing, agriculture and jobs.
    *16-Forget the book,* “Future Shock”, welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution.
    *17-Software* has disrupted and will continue to disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years.
    *18-UBER* is just a software tool, they don't own any cars, and are now the biggest taxi company in the world! Ask any taxi driver if they saw that coming.
    *19-Airbnb* is now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don't own any properties. Ask Hilton Hotels if they saw that coming.
    *20-Artificial Intelligence:* Computers become exponentially better in understanding the world. This year, a computer beat the best Go-player in the world, 10 years earlier than expected.
    *21-In the USA,* young lawyers already don't get jobs. Because of IBM's Watson, you can get legal advice (so far for right now, the basic stuff) within seconds, with 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when done by humans. So, if you study law, stop immediately. There will be 90% fewer lawyers in the future, (what a thought!) only omniscient specialists will remain.
    *22-Watson* already helps nurses diagnosing cancer, its 4 times more accurate than human nurses.
    *23-Facebook* now has a pattern recognition software that can recognize faces better than humans. In 2030, computers will become more intelligent than humans.
    *24-Autonomous cars:* In 2018 the first self-driving cars are already here. In the next 2 years, the entire industry will start to be disrupted. You won't want to own a car anymore as you will call a car with your phone, it will show up at your location and drive you to your destination.
    *25-You will not need* to park it you will only pay for the driven distance and you can be productive while driving. The very young children of today will never get a driver's license and will never own a car.
    *26-This will change* our cities, because we will need 90-95% fewer cars. We can transform former parking spaces into green parks.
    *27-About 1.2 million* people die each year in car accidents worldwide including distracted or drunk driving. We now have one accident every 60,000 miles; with autonomous driving that will drop to 1 accident in 6 million miles. That will save a million lives plus worldwide each year.
    *28-Most traditional* car companies will doubtless become bankrupt. They will try the evolutionary approach and just build a better car, while tech companies (Tesla, Apple, Google) will do the revolutionary approach and build a computer on wheels.
    *29-Look at what Volvo* is doing right now; no more internal combustion engines in their vehicles starting this year with the 2019 models, using all electric or hybrid only, with the intent of phasing out hybrid models.
    *30-Many engineers* from Volkswagen and Audi; are completely terrified of Tesla and they should be. Look at all the companies offering all electric vehicles. That was unheard of, only a few years ago.
    *31-Insurance* companies will have massive trouble because, without accidents, the costs will become cheaper. Their car insurance business model will disappear.
    *32-Real estate* will change. Because if you can work while you commute, people will abandon their towers to move far away to more beautiful affordable neighborhoods.
    *33-Electric cars* will become mainstream about 2030. Cities will be less noisy because all new cars will run on electricity.
    *34-Cities* will have much cleaner air as well.
    *35-Electricity* will become incredibly cheap and clean.
    *36-Solar production* has been on an exponential curve for 30 years, but you can now see the burgeoning impact. And it’s just getting ramped up.
    *37-Fossil energy* companies are desperately trying to limit access to the grid to prevent competition from home solar installations, but that simply cannot continue - technology will take care of that strategy.
    *38-Health:* The Tricorder X price will be announced this year. There are companies who will build a medical device (called the "Tricorder" from Star Trek) that works with your phone, which takes your retina scan, your blood sample and you breath into it. It then analyses 54 bio-markers that will identify nearly any Disease. There are dozens of phone apps out there right now for health purposes.
    *WELCOME TO TOMORROW* - it actually arrived a few years ago.
    Let us wake up to the 21st century challenges ......

      I agree but there's to much at stake for the world to change as quickly as would make sense. There's a certain inevitability behind these changes in technology so most of these things will progress like you said, some maybe faster and some slower. Remember oil is used for all petroleum based products in the world, not just fuel. Certainly the world is changing faster than most people can adapt.
      You forgot:
      VR and AR will be a big part in education and many other industries.
      Infinite possibilities once it's advanced enough for every day interactions and uses.
      5G networking will allow some incredible advances. Especially with mobile autonomy.
      Additive manufacturing advances in manufacturing. From buildings to body parts the industry is drastically innovating.

    People aren't owed a job. Having a job is a recent thing in human society. There are studies saying that before the industrial revolution when people were self-sustaining, they actually had more free time to roam around in festivities and rituals.
    Also, if robots come around and really take jobs away, that means lower wages to be paid, which equals lower prices of products! Competition will take care of this, because if there's a greedy company that keeps prices high, competitors will bring them down. This will mean lower prices for everyone, so that UBI finally has a purpose. People will work less and in a more human fashion: video creators, podcast presenters, streamers, instagram personalities, craftsman, video game makers... that will be our future, and it's fun!

    'Leaving the staff available to help the customers'. Surely you know that is not true? Of course managers will say that, but if they were willing to pay staff to help customers, they would. The reality is that the staff will be let go. The robot will save money for the company. The workers who used to do the work need to find other jobs. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but lets not pretend that the robots are not replacing peoples jobs. Lets admit it, and do something constructive about it like better education and adult training centers etc.

      agree with you but one problem is that things are moving so fast it is hard to know what to educate people in for the (hopefully) new jobs that will be created. no one know what they will be. If somebody had told their careers advisor say 40 years ago at school they wanted to be a web designer , Seo consultant, Cloud Architect or a Social media Influencer they would have been laughed at. 40 Years is not that long but things are moving exponentially faster now so we are now at a point where things will change in the next 5 to 10 years so much there will be so many things the majority of us wont have even guessed at.
      I guess, going back to your point, education is key but it would need to be an extremely adaptive model to try to react as fast as possible to the changing landscape.

    If we automate everything, who will be left with a job to pay for all this? If no one works in retail anymore (one of the biggest employers here in the UK) who will be left with a job and an income to be able to afford all these automated services? Who exactly is this automated new world for, if all the jobs are being done by robots? What will people do to earn a wage when all jobs are automated? What do we all do then? Starve because there are no jobs for anyone to do? A brand new automated world, not for people, because people won't have jobs because of automation. Defeating the purpose is it not?

      Yes, the first thing we need to do is tax the robots. If they do the work of 10 people they should be made to pay 10x the tax a worker would. Obviously ultimately this can never be enough as a profitable company could never be taxed more than its income. At which point these corporations have to be run by the state... Bottom line without workers, and machines making the machines, the only cost is energy and hopefully with wind and solar we can achieve a near free cost of production. The end of money as a construct when the cost of production is next to nothing.
      Sad thing is this wont happen and we will at a certain point of unemployment and lowering wages have riots and wars, as the corporates will never give it up without a fight

    This trend is scary because we have more and more people on the planet and less and less need for them to work, education needs to adapt quickly and the x hour work week needs be reduced to liberate humans from the pressures of monetary slavery, as this is clearly increasing efficiency, but the wages aren't increasing for the displaced workers, but they are for the ones with billions ( 1.000.000.000) in their bank account, its just another form of subjugation. The trend also leads to monopoly, and that is what we have today with only some corporations owning all food in supermarkets.

    I think the jobs most likely to be replaced with machines in the next few years are not so much the physical manual labour - I think it's the customer service jobs. I can see a future soon when we call the electric company and have a seemingly normal conversation with a computer, or arrive at our dentist and are greeted and signed in or make an appointment with a computer. This type of technology is software and can run on devices we already use widely - computers. Only a smaller number of staff would be around to handle the more detailed customer situations and we'd be referred to them rather than talk to them from the start.

    First of all, the main take away here has to be that apparently there is a UK basketball league.
    Second to that, the head of robotics at Amazon was seriously talking out of his ass though by saying that they don't want to fully automate their warehouses. "Humans are good at determining where to place the boxes" is the lamest way of lying saying that human jobs are safe. Decision making on known variables is exactly what robots are best at.
    That being said, the guy interviewed about robots replacing workers stocking shelves is also 100% on point in his comment that they may be replacing jobs but they aren't taking them from anyone since they are notoriously under filled anyway. Now this is definitely down to a bit of a chicken and egg scenario where people don't want to work in jobs that are going to be automated in the near future (see trucking as a better example). However, I'd argue that demand for jobs is still at an all-time high in most modern countries. The challenge will be getting people to adapt quickly enough to a changing market that requires new specializations all the time.

    I actually work in the AI/ML space and can tell you this manager is lying though his teeth and they are absolutely pushing for full automation. People will be hard pressed to know that all these future predictions of AI are going to become realized sooner than is being told to the public. What people don't realize is that AI works on an exponential growth system. Once a working system is found and put in place it grows exponentially in it's capabilities this why self driving cars are already being pushed this year for full autonomy and that's 10-20% of the labor market of jobs that will be lost and that's just in 1 space of the economy it will 100% affect all industries. If you can teach a human to do a task eventually a machine will be taught how to do it better. Sorry to say this if you aren't on the side of an industry that will take jobs then you will lose your job in the future especially with quantum computing being integrated with AI now it's going to become interesting in the coming future.
