...steel mills that can produce 500k tons a year with 14 employees...machines that can diagnose cancer better than top doctors...machines that really can learn stuff. Huge -- to the order of at least hundreds of millions of people -- swathes of humanity are about to be made redundant. And at many levels of work. Then what? What is a good direction to send your kids in to have a prosperous working life?? I'm very interested in the topic, how people believe it will shape our futures, and what, if anything, the legislative response should/will be.

Beat me to it. The one profession a machine cannot do. A robot can even be PM. Oh and begging. A robot cannot beg well. Doesn't need a bed, food, Special Brew, Skag or Crack.

Electronics Engineers.....Engineers and scientists....but don't go into computer engineering. If you want to ensure your children have a well paid job, those are strong bets. For those that can't stand or do maths at all....Well jobs directly managing people aren't going anyway. Also Teaching......though I can't recommend this profession as a sensible career for any youngster other than the very driven who are obsessed with the idea.

Actually apparently there are -- apparently -- some incredible sex bots on the market. Storage is an issue. Apparently. And I'm not sure male prostitution has ever been that, erm, big.

We actually have a robot Prime Minister as evident within the Election given her seemingly automated chant of 'strong and stable...strong and stable'. Now to be heard reeling off in every sentence the following: 'Now let's get back to the job'. The Daleks are seriously concerned that THEY might receive P45s with a new race of Mays taking over = May-hem!
