Automation in Everyday Life
"To gauge the opinions of everyday Americans on this complex and far-reaching topic, the survey presented respondents with four different scenarios relating to automation technologies. Collectively, these scenarios speak to many of the hopes and concerns embedded in the broader debate over automation and its impact on society. The scenarios included: the development of autonomous vehicles that can operate without the aid of a human driver; a future in which robots and computers can perform many of the jobs currently done by human workers; the possibility of fully autonomous robot caregivers for older adults; and the possibility that a computer program could evaluate and select job candidates with no human involvement."
Key findings
Workforce automation has already impacted many individuals in lost jobs or wages.
Nearly half of US employment is at risk of automation.
Driverless vehicles are among the most potentially disruptive forms of automation in our near future.
