[23]The robot takeover of the world may not be as dramatic as we thought. It won’t come in the form of explosions, but rather in the form of employment.
In a classic scenario of the student being better than the master, our eagerness to make robots that are increasingly sophisticated and capable of truly remarkable tasks has, perhaps, showed ourselves rather redundant and out of date. "Technology appears to be resulting in faster, wider and deeper degrees of hollowing-out than in the past," said Andy Haldane, the Bank’s chief economist. Because the machines of today can not only perform boring tasks, but are also capable of creative thought, humans may no longer be able to compete.
"These machines are different," Haldane told CNN. "Unlike in the past, they have the potential to substitute for human brains as well as hands."
So what jobs are most at risk? According to an Oxford University study published last year, loan officers, receptionists, legal assistants, salespeople, drivers, security guards, fast food cooks, bartenders, and financial advisers all risk at least a 50 percent chance of being replaced by robots. And at this year’s Milken Global Conference in Los Angeles, [24]Amy Webb, a digital media futurist and founder of Webbmedia Group, suggested that added marketers, journalists, and lawyers join this at-risk group too.
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.
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. [25] "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."
So let this be a lesson to you, current and future college students. Pick a major that isn’t duplicable by robots. It may be the only way to stay competitive in the 22nd century.
23. How will robots take over the world according to this lecture?
24. Which job will be replaced by robots according to Amy Webb?
25. Why does Andy Haldane tell people not to fear the unemployment?
选项
A、Drivers.
B、Songwriters.
C、Journalists.
D、Fast food cooks.
答案
C
解析
录音提到,数字媒体未来学家兼网站创始人Amy Webb建议要把营销师、记者和律师加入到即将失业的大军中。由此可知C项正确。
