Automation makes it possible for machines to perform human tasks more efficiently than ever before. In January consultant McKinsey & Company conducted a study that concluded that almost any occupation has the potential to be automated. It is estimated that more than half of the activities performed by workers in the world can be automated using the technologies that exist. Which means that this estimate is not a hypothesis, it is a reality and it is only a matter of time.
But, in fact, all jobs can be replaced by robots? It is true that technology has facilitated many human tasks, however, there is a series of works that require some key elements, which no robot will be able to replace: intuition, creativity, innovation, compassion, imagination. The works that are based on these characteristics will probably be affected by the advent of new technologies, but will never be totally replaced.
Undoubtedly, the workforce as we know it today will change completely in the next 10 and 20 years. But some trades and professions, though surely modified by technology, will never succeed in being completely replaced. The human component of trust, empathy, intuition are entirely human and they will never have been replicated by any computer.
