You don't need to have a full-time job yet to be worried about robots taking it.
The 15-year-old son of Cathy Engelbert, CEO of consulting firm Deloitte, is already thinking about automation. He asked his mom if robots were going to take his job someday, Engelbert wrote in a blog post on LinkedIn.
"I told him: 'Don’t worry—I’ve never met a machine with courage and empathy,'" Engelbert wrote. "We’ll still need those in the new economy."
Engelbert had some good advice for her son, and anyone worried about the autonomous future. Basically, jobs will go away but other jobs will be created.
"To be sure, technology will change what we do. Tasks that are highly manual, routine, and predictable will be automated," Engelbert wrote. "But jobsare made up of many tasks. So the nature of existing jobs will change, and new careers will be created."
Specifically, humans and robots will need to work together to figure out which tasks are best suited to each.
And if Bill Gates has his way, maybe the robots will even have to pay income tax.
As Engelbert wrote, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose." Or, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
