The world is facing the fourth industrial revolution powered by artificial and cognitive intelligence that will result in unprecedented job losses; some companies around the world are going to fire people replacing them with robots, with a huge impact to the “human” employment.

Robots will manage a lot of administrative and operative task, will be used to replace soldiers on the ground and will be able even to make sex (wiping out any moral implication… sex with a robot can be considered a betrayal?)

Employees, teachers, social workers, policemen could be replaced by robots as already forecasted by “science fiction” novels, they will operate without error, making decision faster and doing a job in much less time than human being.

Robots will never complain, will never be sick, their cost will be incomparably low compared with humans and their “office hours” will be 24x7 (Nobody will hate Monday!)

The technological singularity (Wikipedia: … a ‘runaway reaction’ of self-improvement cycles, with each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing an intelligence explosion and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that would, qualitatively, far surpass all human intelligence) is close to happens or is already happened under our (closed) eyes.
