Artificial intelligence continues to evolve, which jobs will be replaced?

Middle managers: Last month, the world's largest hedge fund announced that it was developing algorithms to automate the management decision-making process, which includes hiring and firing employees. Bridgewater Associates' PriOS project builds on the business philosophy of its founder, billionaire founder Ray Dalio, and the company hopes to launch the product within five years.

Lawyers: Next time you get a traffic ticket from a traffic police officer, you might want to hire a robot lawyer. DoNotPay has already helped 160,000 people fight such lawsuits in London, New York and Seattle, and will soon expand to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago. You fill out a questionnaire, and if the legal robot thinks you didn't break the rules, it sends you a letter in defense. The company claims that its defense success rate is 60%.

Reporter: AI bots created by companies like Narrative Science and Automated Insights are already writing business and sports reports for clients including Forbes and the Associated Press. Narrative Science co-founder Kris Hammond predicted in a June 2015 interview with The Guardian that by 2030, 90% of news will be written by computers, and some diligent robots may even A Pulitzer Prize before that.

Therapist: Some companies have begun to use “social robots” to help some autistic children learn appropriate social behaviors. Therapeutic robot pets could accompany seniors suffering from dementia. The US military is using a computer-generated virtual therapist to screen soldiers for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Afghanistan.

Teachers: Using software such as McGraw-Hill Connect and Aplia, college professors can manage coursework for hundreds or thousands of students at a time. Mooc online courses can also be taught to thousands of students at the same time. Japan and South Korea are using physical robots to teach students English.

Actor: Peter Cushing, who died in 1994, reprized his old role in 2016's "Star Wars: Rogue One," thanks to the magical technology of Industrial Light & Magic. But he's not the first deceased actor to appear in a new movie. Paul Walker, Audrey Hepburn, Sir Laurence Olivier, Bruce Lee and Marlon Brando have also been "digitally resurrected" in new films and ads.

Cooking book author: In January 2015, IBM's computer Watson created a cookbook. It contains 65 recipes, such as how to make "Creole Shrimp and Lamb" dumplings, brew "Hoof Honey" beer and more.

Delivery Person: Aloft Hotels is experimenting with a robot butler called "Botlr" to deliver towels or toiletries to guests' rooms (it won't charge a tip, but will encourage you to send tweet). Starship Technologies' delivery robot looks like a souped-up robot vacuum, but it can deliver groceries and packages to nearby locations. DoorDash and Postmates have announced partnerships with Starship technology. In December last year, Amazon used drones to deliver its first package to customers. Amazon Prime Air promises to deliver packages weighing 5 pounds or less in 30 minutes or less.

Drivers: It’s no secret that Uber and Lyft want to replace thousands of amateur taxi drivers with robots — though early tests have run into regulatory and safety hurdles. Taxis and city buses are likely to be the first vehicles to become automated, possibly in the early 2020s.
