Will robots take over the workforce And if they do, what jobs will be left for us humansMany discussions take a【C1】______view that the workforce will indeed be【C2】______by robots in the future—and why that is a good thing. Carl Bass, the chief executive of Autodesk, acknowledged that workplace automation has【C3】______or reduced many manufacturing jobs, and will continue to do so in the future, 【C4】______ major shifts in the labor market. Entire【C5】______such as trucking, will ually be disrupted by robotic【C6】______like self-driving cars, he said. But, Bass asked: "Are the jobs【C7】______ to automation ones that you would want for your children" Few parents, he said, dreamed their kids would someday become fuel pumpers or elevator【C8】______jobs already replaced by automation. In the next 30 years, Bass added, smart machines and robots will【C9】______humans on the planet. Bass presented some【C10】______ideas to help societies deal with the structural【C11】______generated by a robot-heavy workforce, including taxing economic output rather than income, or【C12】______a "negative income tax," in which governments pay citizens a subsidy in order to【C13】______a level of income. "With our【C14】______and imagination, we will find harmony with the robots," Bass said. 【C15】______, other discussions focused on identifying jobs which were likely to remain 【C16】______from robots. For example, hairdressers might be considered safe. But not because robots can"t cut hair—the relationship between hairdressers and their【C17】______simply can"t be robotized. (And, some people might be【C18】______of a robot holding a sharp blade so close to their necks,【C19】______ plenty of robots already perform delicate surgery.) Another job【C20】______ safe Roboticist. 【C14】
