McKinsey recently published research looking at the automation potential of 750 jobs, analyzing each across across 18 capabilities. It found that 45% of paid activities could be automated using "currently demonstrated technologies." If you're planning a career, or planning a career change, it may be worth thinking about how automation could affect the job market of the future. We know that advances in artificial intelligence and robots could have massive implications for the labor market, reconfiguring some jobs and eradicating others. If you're looking for a safeish sort of work over the next decade or two, it's probably a good idea to be on the right side of the wave.
