By Lana Clements PUBLISHED: 20:51, Thu, Nov 5, 2015 | UPDATED: 10:03, Fri, Nov 6, 2015 A robot GETTYRobots are set to do a third of British jobs in 20 years In some sectors, such as manufacturing, smart machines will already perform almost half of jobs globally within a decade, forecasts financial firm Bank of America Merril Lynch (BAML). However, the firm warns the march of the machines will lead to larger inequality in society and greater issues around cybersecurity and privacy. The biggest short-term challenge will be the displacement of human workers, as robots take jobs. And in the longer-term, there could also be safety issues and threats posed by artificial intelligence or killer robots, said the bank. There is a 50 per cent chance of high-level learning machines to be in place by 2050 and 90 per cent chance by 2075 - super-intelligence is expected to follow in the 30 years after.

Adopting robots to carry out work could boost productivity by a third in many industries, while cutting staff costs by around the same amount, estimates the bank. It's not just manufacturing at risk, but jobs that require little or no creativity, according to the report. And it will be the lowest paid most likely to suffer. In Britain it's estimated that jobs that pay less than £30,000 a year are five times more likely to be replaced than jobs pay £100,000 a year or more. In the coming years, there is predicted to be fast growth of 'care-bots', which will replace care workers, as well more medical robots and computer-assisted surgery to carry out healthcare jobs. Self-driving cars and drones will gradually take over driving and military jobs, while 'agribots' will carry out farming roles.

Use of industrial robots for manufacturing needs will continue to soar. At home and in our daily lives, artificial intelligence will be at the core of the Internet of Things (IoT) - appliances and objects linked to the internet - to transform our habits. For example, fridges that automatically order food online when it sees that an item is running low or cars that automaticity avoid traffic jams. More than 50billion devices are expected to be connected to internet in five years time, with Apple, Facebook and Google among the companies leading developments in the area. Robot sales have smashed records for the past three years, up by a third in 2014, and the market is now on track to be worth an enormous £99billion by 2020. The BAML report said: "We are facing a paradigm shift which will change the way we live and work. "Penetration of robots and artificial intelligence (AI) has hit every industry sector, and has become an integral part of our daily lives. "Technology has also expanded beyond routine work, and moved into complex problem-solving, and replicating human perception, tasks that only people were capable of." graph of high risk jobs from robots Frey and Osborne, Deloitte 2014 / Bank of America Merril Lynch Low-paying, manual jobs which are generally considered “high risk” for replacement Related articles * Black Friday 2015 and Christmas set for delivery mayhem amid UK... * Amazon and Argos Black Friday 2015 deals start - as sales set to...
