James H Schmitz’s undergraduate-age heroine Telzey Amberdon was using something that looks very like the world wide web, the global information medium which considerably postdates widespread use of the internet, in a series of short stories published in 1962 and a few years after; she was registering for courses, submitting coursework and catching up on missed lectures.

The BoE has calculated which roles are most likely to be replaced, with “those occupations most at risk including administrative, clerical and production tasks”, said Mr Haldane.
“Clearly those in lower paying jobs are going to be more at risk,” said Sarbjit Nahal at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, whose report earlier this month calculated that UK employees on £30,000 or less were five times more likely to be replaced by artificial intelligence in the next 20 years than those paid in excess of £100,000.
A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently showed that robots acting as bar staff were more efficient, and less impartial, than humans.
Specialist jobs, from surgeons and dentists to firefighters, also rank among the least vulnerable positions.
Farmers, athletic trainers and the clergy also have less than a 0.01 per cent chance of being replaced.
