One way to divide job types is:physical/mental/emotional/creative.
It seems plausible that robots could do physical and mental jobs.
There's a debate regarding creative jobs, but we already have good preliminary results, and once we crack some of the mental building blocks(like conceptual representation and abstraction), it's plausible we could get creativity in many domains.
As for the arts: they require a complex mix of mental, emotional and creative skills, so we'll see.
As for deep emotional jobs, for example, like a psychologist - it's hard to imagine people forming deep relationships with robots, etc. So maybe emotional jobs are the future of jobs. The big question is - how could you create low-unemployment economy around that ?
- gnaritas 9y agoSee, you get it. Yes, there will always be some human jobs, but not remotely enough to have a wage labor based economy built on. We call them starving artists already, there's no demand for a hundred million more artists. Robots will eliminate blue collar work and that eliminates the foundation of our economy.
