Hollywood likes to paint a bleak version of the future, one where artificial intelligence (AI) becomes sentient and robots take over the world. Don’t let movies scare you though! You needn’t be concerned or worried that robots will take over the world. What you need to worry about is robots taking your job.

Take manufacturing lines for example. What was once done by hand is now done by robots. With technology constantly evolving and machines becoming ever more complex, you can’t but ask yourself the question “will my job be replaced by a robot?” There’s no quick “yes” or “no” answer, because it all depends on what you do. Some jobs have higher odds of being replaced by machines, as the infographic featured below shows.
