The rise of artificial intelligence and robotics is creating significant concerns about the future of human employment. Tech leaders like Elon Musk are suggesting that technological advancements might eventually replace human workers across various industries. While this might sound like a sci-fi movie plot, many companies are actively exploring ways to automate their workforce to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
Currently, the impact of AI and robotics varies across different job sectors. While some roles, particularly those involving physical labor, are more immediately at risk, white-collar jobs are also facing potential disruption. Companies are testing humanoid robots in manufacturing settings, like BMW factories, and exploring how artificial intelligence can handle complex thinking tasks while robots perform physical work.
A survey of Romanian business leaders reveals mixed perspectives on workforce reduction. Nearly half of the surveyed companies anticipate reducing their workforce by 10-20%, with some expecting even higher job cuts. However, experts note that current technology still has limitations, such as lacking human-like coordination, dexterity, and versatility. This suggests that while technological replacement is a growing concern, complete workforce automation is not yet an immediate reality.
