Automation nad science are the great helpers of humanity.
However humanity itself is also its worst enemy.
We could have done so much better in our brief history on the planet but still there is time to fight to better ourselves.

"One in three workers believe their job will be automated in the next decade but many are not being offered new skills to prepare them for changes to the world of work, according to a study."
It seem this people havent heard about the "Work & Health Program". Which well help more people into work, over the next decade????

.....let us hope the machines take the unpleasant jobs and leave the better ones for humans to do.

Here's another story about Robots in the workplace.

Still few humans around (but they are part of the future class of "technicians" the ones that will inherit the world!!)
But the writing is on the wall...

Interesting @Brutus, I was wondering one point thou. Where do these 'technicians' fit in with the Neoliberalism model, as I thought there was just the Elites & the Serfs, not like the Pyramid of Capitalistism.

Re: Robots will take our jobs. We’d better plan now, before it’s too late
in my opinion the ""class of the technicians" will be the ultimate winners.
We see a start of it in the more successful representatives, for instance the high-tech business magnates.
At the moment their essential services are well remunerated but eventually the stupidity and greed of the older retainers will force them on a path to the realisation that they hold the means of coercion in society.
To us the main advantage will be that as a "ruling class" they will be more rational and will have no problem in implementing things like UBI as means of lessening disruptive tensions in the social construct.
They'll likely be the last collective group, I am oversimplifying here of course, to hold power in society.

I hear what you are saying @Brutus. As you mentioned "in my opinion the ""class of the technicians" will be the ultimate winners.". However, won't these 'Technician caste', also eventually end up on the scrap heap of existence to. Due to improvement in technology, therefore there need will become less important .

Yes, absolutely correct.
However they will not be replaced by other human "castes". It will be the end of our domination (or mistreatment of the planet, more likely...) and the birth of a new form of dominant intelligence.
Either that or "planetary apoptosis" of sort.
As I see things, these are the only two outcomes of any technological civilization.
These are however things that will develop in the next few hundred oyears (more likely faster than predictions allow, because of the exponential increase in scientific and technological advances).
Far from being disturbed by this vision of things to come I see it as a natural continuation of the evolutionary progress of life.
We should perhaps wean out of our anthropocentric perception of the world, we are just tools of planetary life either to good or deleterious ends.

On a side point thou @Brutus, do you think there might be a rise in a new Amish style communities in the world, where people reject any sort of interaction with AI/Robotics’. While they will never be able to compete on financial way against these machines. However, they might find an alternative lifestyle suits them?

Possible but unlikely.
Not so much because of the threat of violence, a time honoured tradition of our species, but simply because intelligence, even if actively repressed, will eventually find a path along the evolutive advantage that created it in the first place.
For example women, in most historical and some contemporary, societies have been actively dehumanized by attempting to suppress their intellect. Still, in spite of centuries of male dominated attempts, they are as potentially intelligent as anyone. They did not remain a stable, subservient strata in society.
So even if all the word would renounce knowledge and retreat to a less technological form of social interchange, if would be only a matter of time before this or that group would take home the advantages of using a better understanding on how to manipulate the world. Advantages that will make them fitter than their neighbours, etc.
Retreat from knowledge and intelligence has happen several times in human history, but still resulted in only an unstable condition.
It may last centuries or even millennia, but renouncing the fulfillment of logic will still be a temporary hiatus on the way to fulfill our evolutionary destiny.
The alternative, quite feasible and much more probable would be inevitable extinction.
