Robots have been doing the repetitive drudge work in our factories fordecades. But now they can flip burgers, lay bricks, even co-operate to open doors and escape. Giant 3D printers can make houses out ofconcrete in a fraction of the time humans can. "Artificial Intelligence is a big threat to low-skilled jobs, no question," says Bernard Louvat, general manager of digital customer engagement solutions at tech firm Nuance."Chatbots are certainly eliminating jobs - we need fewer and fewer human agents each year. The ones that are left will be highly skilled super-agents looking after the most complicated cases."
