REVEALED: The rise of AI and who's hiring? Are you at risk of losing your job?

Technology is becoming increasingly integrated into the workplace, but did you ever expect it to take over altogether, with a robot even taking your place?

Figures from the Department of Work and Pensions showed approximately 8,820,545 British jobs would be lost by the rise of artificial intelligence by 2030 and over the last three years the demand for workers with artificial intelligence skills has increased by up to 119% according to job site, Indeed.

With AI booming, RS Components has analysed job openings and posts at the worlds largest technology giants to discover who is actively recruiting for AI-related roles, and also who is most at risk of losing their job to a robot. You can view the interactive graphic here.

Ex-Google Executive Kai-Fu Lee claims that 40% of the world’s workers will be displaced within 15 years. He continues: “In 50 years, it is reasonable to think that robots will be able to ‘support’ and replace human beings in several activities. Already electro-mechanical devices outperform humans in sensitives and reaction time.”
