Automation, Robotics and AI are they really eliminating many jobs?

Riyadh,

I agree with Sergio and Kiron. Briefly put, soft skills so far will not be replace by automated machinery, while hard skills that can be automated will. Hence, project management skills will lean further toward soft skills, ethical leadership, business acumen, strategic alignment and critical thinking.

Are they killing jobs? Depends how you look at it. They are killing jobs traditionally performed by humans. Since they do those jobs more effectively, they could also be creating new jobs when the performance and cost benefit of using robots or AI out-ways using humans who come in second best.

Why not replace as many human jobs as possible? Perhaps one day each person can help maintain "their" robot, ensure it is operating at full efficiency, uploaded with the correct firmware/software etc. Robots can perform some jobs 10 or 100 times more efficiently than a human, and since they don't need to be paid a salary, just pay the human instead to maintain its robot.

Now wouldn't that be cool; humans maintaining the robot who perform their previous job, while the human still gets paid for it.

AI is totally alien to me, but I have experience with robotics and automation in the workplace, and they DO cut jobs, this is what they are meant to do.
They DO create other jobs as someone mentioned above, but cost savings is their intended purpose. They require a higher capital investment though, but it is offset by savings in a couple years.
