Thread: Could a robot do your job?

Hmmm now i am an electrician, and apparently a robot could do 41% of my job! I would love to see a robot get a ladder off the roof of my van, set it up at a man hole in someones house, climb into the roof and start running cable and fitting lights etc...
I call BS on this

No, but, the work I do is being shipped offshore to places like India, Thailand and Malaysia.

That partially explains why we are getting buildings built with flammable cladding and asbestos ceiling tiles.
And plant with silicone welds.

My current jobs not even on there so safe for the moment.

And in reality, by the time one could, it would mean they could do any human job and while I have no doubt that could happen way off in the future, it doesn't concern me.

I'm a Sparky by trade too and as Damien says, there's no way a robot could turn up to a site, run a cable through the roof, fit it off and fill out the COES and submit it - they struggle to even get the things to walk around a room without falling over.

19% for me.... I can't believe it's that low. I'm a music teacher so kids don't listen to me... they could do that with a computer

I'm currently training to become a musical instrument repairman. Apparently that's 56%!!!!!

Well, that's odd.

It says 13% of my job can be done by automation. Then it goes on to list the processes that can be automated. The processes listed have zero relevance to what I do. Someone stuffed up that program. Typically, they either put in bad data or the AI algorithms failed.

I've got a job for local government with many different roles in emergencies and Local Laws. Supposedly part off the automation of one of my jobs as a dog catcher will be "studying details of musical composition". I mean after my catch pole and leather gloves, musical composition would have to be next...

I would like to see it happen . The current computer system can't even get the stock levels and location correct for the pickers. For us drivers often the business address and name is wrong. Those that rely on the gps often take longer routes or don't find the address given. A few lessons on map book usage and warehousing might have cost the company a lot less than the current system , or the upcoming scan and sign devices that have been a failure in recent tests.
Yes being made redundant looks likely.

Only 22% dam it! Means I have to keep working.
