Will robots take your job?

Proekspert’s data scientist Martin Lumiste’s presentation at this year’s Robotex conference explored the future of robots and AI.

Recent advances in the field of machine learning have brought artificial intelligence technologies to the limelight. Self-driving cars, package delivery robots and automatic checkout registers at grocery stores have left people wondering if automatization is the inevitable outcome of every profession.

In this talk, Martin Lumiste from Proekspert discusses the notion of strong and weak AI, how autonomous systems work, where the field of machine learning is heading towards and how this is going to affect the job market of all specialists ranging from construction workers to NASA engineers. The claim is made that building new wealth redistribution channels remains the biggest obstacle ahead in the forthcoming age of AI.
