(#1) Data Entry
All those agonizing hours in high school spent memorizing the weird layout of your computer keyboard so you could type 70+ words per minute and support yourself through a drab existence of trying to get your novel published? It may soon turn out to be all for naught. With the growing proficiency of text recognition software and automated intelligence, companies paying people to do manual data entry may soon become a thing of the past.(#2) Telephone Operator

(#8) Pizza Delivery Person
A staple of collegiate employment may be phased out by specialized bots in the near future, as Domino's has already put a Domino Robotic Unit (DRU) into service in Australia. Constructed by Marathon Robotics, DRU can navigate and avoid obstacles, keeping pizza hot and beverages cold right until they arrive at your door. Domino's insists that the delivery droid isn't just a publicity stunt, but is instead the future of Italian flatbread delivery.(#9) Librarian
It's sad to imagine there may no longer be any nerdishly awkward, sweet old ladies to help you find your way around a library anymore in the coming years, but budgeting difficulties are already making it hard for many cities to fully staff their libraries. Most libraries these days rely more and more heavily on automated touchscreen kiosks and other digital replacements, and let's be honest, with the advent of personal computers and the Internet, physical libraries just don't have the communal importance they once did. A few libraries have even been going fully digital and don't stock physical copies of books anymore at all. (Seriously.)(#10) Tax Preparer
Everybody you know probably uses the H&R Block website for this already, unless they're the type of person who has a private chauffeur and a winter home in Malibu. (In that case, they pay a third party to use the H&R Block website for them.) Recent research suggests virtually zero living, functional humans actually understand how taxes work anyway, so automated tax services seem like kind of a no-brainer.(#11) Order Clerk

(#13) Brokerage Clerk
Brokerage clerks are basically people who help you comparison shop when you're trying to get a loan for something, like starting a new business or buying a home. Like doing your taxes, this is something a lot of people have already started farming out to automated services, since it's about a thousand times easier and faster to search a website with preloaded options than to pay an actual human being to spend time and money reaching out to various lenders and jumping through hoops to get the best interest rate.(#14) Soldier
Armed robots and intelligent drones are already being utilized more and more heavily in ground combat, and although those technologies are expensive, they're also way more efficient than human soldiers. Plus, attacking enemies with robots is a pretty great intimidation tactic – we've all seen those terrifying YouTube videos of the creepy military robot dog things, and those are just for supplies transport.(#16) Claims Processor
Claims processors are people who assess insurance claims and decide whether the person who submitted them to the insurance company deserves money or not. Despite all your pleading and canoodling with the insurance agent, these decisions are typically based on pretty straightforward, even tedious interpretations of the policy, which is why you're always getting screwed out of your payoff thanks to some tiny loophole that benefits the company. Computers can do this much more effectively than humans, who are often swayed by things like "compassion" and "fear of Karmic retribution."(#17) Astronaut
- Profession
(#18) Insurance Appraiser
Sort of like a claims processor, a insurance appraiser decides whether a vehicle, home, expensive object, or human being is important and valuable enough to deserve insurance coverage. This sometimes requires slightly more finesse than determining whether specific procedures or compensation should be made available to an existing client, but really not by much.
The type of insurance appraisers who go on Antiques Roadshow might still be around for a few years (at least until the robotic SuperRace takes over and replaces all of our intellectual authority figures with computerized drones) but other types of insurance appraisal are likely to become heavily automated in coming years.(#19) Paralegal
Being a paralegal mainly involves tediously going through records and documents to find information relevant to a particular case. There's already a company in Palo Alto working with an experimental AI software that has been proven to be more efficient at this type of large-scale document review than traditional paralegal teams.(#21) Referee
Referees and umpires are already among the least popular professionals in the entire universe, plus people are constantly whining about their judgment calls being incorrect. Robots would be far more equipped to do this accurately and would look much cuter in those stripey shirts they wear. That way, everybody can finally shut up about how the umpire "didn't see" the play accurately.(#22) Sex Worker
Sex would seem like one arena where the human touch is necessary, but there's already a $7,000 "sex robot" ($75,000 for custom designs) and some experts predict that robophilia will be the norm within 50 years. It was only a matter of time before robots started taking over history's oldest profession, and hey, there's a certain logic to actual objects taking over the role of objectified people, right?(#23) Nanny
Certain Japanese retailers have already premiered "babysitter" robots in charge of entertaining children while their parents go shopping, which sounds like a scandalously better time than most kids in America have ever had waiting for their parents to finish buying groceries. The emergence of full-time robot nannies is really just the next logical step. (Think of the sitcom potential!)

About This Tool
The last ten years have been a decade of the rapid development of artificial intelligence, and also a decade when jobs robots are well-known to human society. Intelligent robots have slowly entered our lives, although most of them are still toys in our hands. But its remarkable development trend is beyond human conjecture. There is no doubt that jobs robots provide a safer and more convenient way for all kinds of tasks, especially difficult tasks.
Some experts even predict that with the evolution of artificial intelligence, its intelligence will be billions of times higher than that of humans. Do you believe jobs robots are most likely to take over in the future? You could check 23 items on this page, click and refresh the collection to know more jobs robots from the decades.
