A.I., robots, and automation will take over manual labor and services; replace 800 million jobs globally by 2030
Robots have taken their place in dangerous labor. However, thanks to smartphones and internet connectivity, easy jobs are slowly replaced by A.I. In 2021, as the world reels from lockdowns, giant retailers need not hire new employees for jobs digital technology can do.
