He says that some jobs may simply shift to adapt to technological advances.

Others have done similar studies and though they have come up with different figures, most researchers agree large numbers of jobs will be automated in the near future. In 2013, Carl Frey and colleagues at the University of Oxford in the UK categorised jobs by how easily they could be done by machines, and found that about half the jobs in the US could be done by robots in the next 20 years. Those who thought their jobs were likely to be replaced may not be wrong. ![]() They found that a third thought their current job could be replaced by technology in the near future, but these workers expressed the same pattern of preference for being replaced by robots rather than people.
