  • White determines if technology has always been seen as a threat to human jobs. Fear of machines taking jobs dates back at least as far as the Luddites, a group of British weavers who went on a mill-burning rampage in 1811 when power looms made them redundant. Two centuries on, many of them could face the same predicament. In 2013 Carl Frey and Michael Osborne of the Oxford Martin Program on the Impacts of Future Technology at the University of Oxford looks at 702 types of work and ranked them according to how easy it would be to automate them. They found that just under half of all jobs in the US could feasibly be done by machines within two decades.
