    Default Will a robot take your job?

    Want to know if machines will replace your job in the future? Although this is based in the UK it's fun to check. I'm pretty safe with there only being a 2% chance that my job will become automated.

    Will a robot take your job?

    Type your job title into the search box below to find out the likelihood that it could be automated within the next two decades.
    About 35% of current jobs in the UK are at high risk of computerisation over the following 20 years, according to a study by researchers at Oxford University and Deloitte.

    Likelihood of automation?
    It's not very likely (22%)

    But will most likely change to something else within the year

    8% likelihood for me. So I'm still safe. Besides, I BUILD stuff that automates other peoples' jobs every day. So you lot have my ilk to thank for job insecurity in the future.

    You're welcome.
