12. Frey and Osborne address the
hottest new question

13. Frey and Osborne address the
hottest new question
In “The Future of Employment“, Carl Frey and Michael Osborne forecast
which jobs are most and least likely to be replaced by technology in the
next two decades. Their Model predicts that computerisation can be
extended to any non-routine task that is not subject to any engineering
bottlenecks to computerisation.

15. Frey and Osborne address the
hottest new question
“Technological progress in the twenty-first
century can be expected to contribute to a
wide range of cognitive tasks, which, until
now, have largely remained a human domain”

16. “Algorithms for big data are now rapidly
entering domains reliant upon pattern
recognition and can readily substitute for
labour in a wide range of non-routine
cognitive tasks”

22. What’s preventing jobs from being
automated?
Frey and Osborne identified several key bottlenecks that prevents jobs from
being automated:
Perception and manipulation tasks.
Robots are still unable to match the depth and breadth of human
perception.

23. What’s preventing jobs from being
automated?
Frey and Osborne identified several key bottlenecks that prevents jobs from
being automated:
Perception and manipulation tasks.
Robots are still unable to match the depth and breadth of human
perception.
Creative intelligence tasks. The psychological
processes underlying human creativity are difficult to specify.
