Study: Robot Handles Half of Human Work in 2025

A study conducted by the World Economic Forum (WEF) said, in 2025 the robot would handle about 52 percent of human duties and jobs. The study signals that humans must be able to change computerized-oriented skills.

"In 2025 more than half of all current workplace tasks will be carried out by machines compared to 29 percent today," WEF said in a statement quoted by The News, Tuesday (9/18).

The WEF report entitled The Future Jobs 2018 also predicts robots will primarily replace human roles in the accounting, client management, industry, postal and secretarial sectors.

Meanwhile, work that still needs human hands is the sales, marketing and customer service sectors related to the e-commerce industry. Nevertheless, human skills in these sectors are reminded that they must be improved so that they will not be eroded by the ability of the machines in the future.

The emergence of robotization is not without opportunity. WEF noted, the era of technology that increasingly touched human work, also gave birth to new devices or machines. That of course requires human resources to operate it.

WEF said, the emergence of new machines is expected to give birth to around 133 new job professions for humans. The emergence of the new profession will come slowly until the next 2022.
