BANGALORE: In the era of manifold development, technological innovations are replacing jobs once performed by humans, gradually. We no longer see elevator personal, milkman nowadays because of the emergence of new technology. Similarly, the day might come when robots may push homo sapiens into obsolescence. As Artificial intelligence takes centre stage, machines like Mobile robots and smart computers are threatening to replace up half the workforce within the next decade or two. Here is the list of jobs that are at most risk, according to a study done at the University of Oxford in the UK,as reported by Business Insider.



Loan Officers:  How about an automated loan officer at your service? This is what you would see within the next decade or two. All of us have seen stock trading algorithms and it is nothing new, but automated loan officers are. According to the study conducted by the Oxford, loan officers are the highest rated individuals with a 98 percent probability and the most likely human officers to be replaced by robots. Although financial institutions employ loan officers, they can be seen as intermediaries between lending institutions and borrowers. These professionals seek loans; represent creditors to borrowers, and vice versa.
