Hello, everyone. How are you today? It's Teacher Asuka.

Today, I'm going to talk about ' Employment in the future'.

In 2013, Dr. Michael Osborne from the Oxford University has

announced the thesis ‘Future of Employment. The thesis

concluded that about 47% of American workers will have lost

their jobs in ten years after analyzing every category such as creativity, social intelligence or so of 702 jobs which is decided by the US Ministry of Labor. In this thesis, you can also find what jobs will disappear, its percentage and order of each

disappearing jobs in the future.

This surprising result has related 'how jobs will be

computerized' as the thesis's subtitle. Technology has highly

developed for ten years.

Increasing computerized technology as well as Artificial

Intelligence (AI) will change people's life rapidly as follows:

spreading of automatic operated vehicle will prevent taxi or

truck drivers from getting their jobs.

Various kinds of robots which can be reproduced and moved

delicately like human's movement has developed and

introduced in factories, which will prevent blue collar workers from

their daily jobs as well.

Every routine work can be the works that can be　computerized

or automated, so such jobs will have been replaced by robots or AI.

This is just an example, you know. 'We should face these

kinds of fact in the nearest future', said Dr. Osborne.

So, what should we do?

He suggests that the jobs having originality or social

intelligence will be unlikely to be automated, indicating

predictive disappearing value of architect 1.8% and technical

designer 3.8%. Because robots or AI are not good at suggesting

or thinking creatively.

As above, we have got the point that we will face disappearing

tasks which can be computerized, however, the tasks with

non-routine, complex perception and creative intelligence tasks

are unlikely substituted by computers. We need to choose

such creative tasks in the future.

Finally, I’ll let you know that Dr. Osborne has announced that

necessary skills in 2030 are as follows:

Learning strategies, Psychology, Instructing, Social Perceptive,

Sociology and Anthropology, Education and Training,

Coordination, Originality, Fluency of Ideas, and Active

Learning.

Thank you for joining as always.

See you next time!
