首席经济学家：机器人将替代人类50%的工作

安迪告诉美国广播公司说：“这些机器是不一样的，不同于过去的那些机器，他们有能力替代人类的双手和大脑。”

So what jobs are most at risk? According to an Oxford University study published last year, loan officers, receptionists, paralegals, salespeople, drivers, security guards, fast food cooks, bartenders, and financial advisers all risk at least a 50 percent chance of being automated. And at this year’s Milken Global Conference in Los Angeles, Amy Webb, a digital media futurist and founder of Webbmedia Group, suggested that added marketers (a rather broad term), journalists, and lawyers to the mix too.

那么什么工作最具风险呢？根据牛津大学去年发表的研究显示，贷款人员、接待员、律师、销售员、司机、警卫、快餐厨师、调酒师和财务顾问，这些工作都有至少50%的几率被自动化。在今年的洛杉矶的米尔肯研究院全球会议（Milken Global Conference）上，韦伯媒体集团的创始人和数字媒体未来主义者艾米·韦伯认为营销人员（一个相当广泛的术语）、记者和律师这些岗位也存在被替代风险。

Considering that much of journalism is already done by way of computers, to say that I’m completely unconcerned would be a bit of a stretch.

大部分资讯工作已经由电脑完成，说我完全不关心是有点夸张了。

But still, Haldane notes, humans don’t really have all that much to fear. Just because robots replace the jobs of today doesn’t mean that we won’t create new ones for tomorrow. “Humans will adapt their skills to the tasks where they continue to have a comparative advantage over machines,” he noted. Although to be fair, “The smarter machines become, the greater the likelihood that the space remaining for uniquely human skills could shrink further.”
