- corecoder 10y agoAlso: we are mainly talking of automating manufacture and transportation, but are we that close to automating house and road building and repairing? Edit: damn autocorrect
- nopinsight 10y agoYes, on-site constructions seem to be among those I left out. The locomotion, weight-balancing, sensory, and reasoning skills required are close to or at AGI level as well. It could probably be grouped with category 4 above.
- nopinsight 10y agoThose professions require a combination of people expertise (category 2) and locomotion skills (category 4). They will be needed for a long time to come. In many ways the jobs require human-level general intelligence to perform properly and thus we may need to solve AGI before they can be fully automated. Bottom line: There are a lot of opportunities to increase the number of people doing those kinds of jobs, if the middle class and the working class receive productivity dividends from automation (through economy or government subsidies).
