According to experts Artificial intelligence from Britannia And Japan. It is said that the job par excellence that can be largely automated is shopping at the supermarket, while childcare is considered the most difficult to automate.

Researchers led by Ekaterina Hertog of the University of Oxford, who published a related scientific publication in the journal PLoS One, asked 29 British artificial intelligence specialists and 36 Japanese (both sexes) to evaluate the extent to which 17 works and “hassles” can be automated over the next decade. housework needed for the household and family.

An average of 39% of the time people currently spend on any household task is projected to be done on smart machines over the next ten years, with UK analysts believing automation will replace more human labor (42% ). against the Japanese (36%). The estimated level of automation varies by job, from 59% for shopping to 21% for childcare.

UK male experts tend to be more optimistic than women about the possibility of home automation, in line with the general trend that previous research has shown that men are generally more optimistic about technology than women. Conversely, in Japan, professional women seem to be somewhat more optimistic than men, perhaps because there is more inequality in the distribution of work between the two sexes in Japanese households.

Previous research has shown that people aged 15 to 64 spend about 43% of their entire work and school time on unpaid housework such as cooking, cleaning, caring for children and/or the elderly, etc. In Britain, men spend about half as much time on such jobs as women, while in Japan only 18%, hence the clearly greater inequality in Japanese households and hence the expectation of female experts in the Land of the Rising Sun that automation will be “the god of machines.” who will redeem them.
