Should we be afraid of robots?-posters Parisiennes
Concerns are highest among the youngest, with 50% of 16 to 34 year olds fearing that their job will be automated in the next decade, and 35% of 35 and 44 year olds feeling the same way. Inevitably less affected by career advancement, only 21% of people over 55 years of age are aware of automation in the next ten years. However, most of the 1,410 French respondents take things with philosophy: barely 6% believe that their jobs will be automated within two years, and 14% in the next 6 to 10 years.
Employees in some industries are more concerned than others: 51% of financial services employees fear that their jobs will be replaced in the next decade, as do 45% of computer and telecommunications workers and 45% of those in the marketing and media sectors. The contrast with other sectors is striking, with 18% in the education sector and 20% in the health sector expecting automation of their occupations.
"the rise of new technologies in companies is forcing them to rethink their existing organisational models. The prospect of automation makes it possible to reduce time-consuming tasks and to propose ever more precise indicators of decision support, "says Carlos Fontelas de Carvalho, President of ADP in France and Switzerland.
The prospect of an automated future is of particular concern to British employees, and this is quite far from the rest of the world: 40% believe that their jobs will be automated in the future and 27% expect this to happen in the next five years. One possible explanation may be the large number of jobs in financial services and information technology in the United Kingdom, two sectors in which the majority of employees expect automation in the near future (45% and 39% respectively).
AI and the work seen by France Stratégie
Artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to profound changes in work. In order to prepare for this, France Stratégie 's report published in March 2018 examines three sectors-transport, banking and health-and develops development scenarios and proposes courses of action.
Understood as a set of technologies aimed at carrying out cognitive tasks traditionally performed by humans through computing, AI is now at the heart of debates on social transformations.
On the basis of a fine analysis, the report identifies three lines of action to address the challenges raised by the arrival of AI and robots in the world of work:
-to conduct, at the level of the branch or sector, foresight work on the potential of artificial intelligence to ensure a good level of information and anticipation on the part of the players;
-train workers in the challenges of tomorrow: train highly qualified workers to produce AI, and workers who are aware of the technical, legal, economic or ethical challenges posed by the use of artificial intelligence tools;
-strengthen systems for securing career paths for the few sectors or sub-sectors that would be heavily impacted by the risk of automation.
