It is estimated that within the next 35 years, 50% of the world’s jobs will be taken from the people and carried out by a machine. This figure is direct from Moshe Vardi, of Rice University Houston when speaking to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His lasting question surrounds what will humans do if machines are going to do all of the work.
He believed middle-class jobs will be the first to go, and the rolls robots would take initially would be surrounding driving and sex. This could leave humans worth a few hours work and week and an immense amount of leisure time. He believes humans will suffer as they have a deep lying belief that work is needed to keep humans healthy.

Voluntary work would be one thing to do, and charities could benefit, but, whatever happens, there are going to be changes and artificial intelligence is on the rise. It is hard to determine the exact consequences, but they will be strong.
Vardi is not the first person to come to this conclusion, as previous research has led to the view that the UK will lose 35% of the jobs to robots within 20 years, and lower paid workers who will be most affected ones from this change.
