ROBOTS and artificial intelligence will have almost entirely replaced human workers within just 20 years, a world-leading expert on the subject has claimed.

Within the next two decades, Vivek Wadhwa believes millions will be made redundant by technology

Vivek Wadhwa, a distingiuished fellow at both Stanford and Duke universities and business technology specialist, said it was now "indisputable" that mankind is on the verge of an era of change similar to the Industrial Revolution.
He said: "This is happening now. The technologies are removing jobs, they are eliminating them.
"In a decade or two you'll find that robots and artificial intelligence can do almost every job that human beings do. We are headed into a jobless future.
"I know it sounds very scary, but that is the reality of technology."

Vivek Wadhwa says humans should embrace the evolution of AI

The academic said he "doesn't see how we are going to be able to retrain the vast majority of today's workers on the jobs of tomorrow, if they exist at all."
But despite this grim prediction of a "jobless future," Mr Wadhwa insisted: "I'm optimistic.
"We complain about 40 hour work weeks – who says we have to work 40 hour work weeks? Why can't we be working 10 hours a week?

Exactly what I was telling a colleague of mine a fortnight ago...
We are creating a system that will render a vast majority of the workforce jobless, and turn the ones left into lazy entities.
This era of Technological Revolution is the direct opposite of the Industrial Revolutionary era.
