As technology’s role in our lives grows, we could be looking towards an age where robots take over the jobs we do every day.
Based on a study by the University of Oxford in 2013, we know that the professions most likely to be taken over by A.I. include telemarketers, watch repairers and insurance underwriters, and the least likely include choreographers, graphic designers and art directors.
