We got waiters at fast food joints, butlers (Jarvis!), cab drivers, psychologists and tinder matches.
See why here: Jobs that AI should take away.

So, apart from those listed, which jobs are better off in the hands of AI/robots

Think big(aka "real AI"):
1.All entry point staff in all govt offices whose only job is to receive form submission or answering queries(e.g.RTO office,passport office,post offices,public sector banks etc)
2.All manual labour employed in Railways & similar govt organizations & departments.
3.All income tax filing & review related employees,human intervention only in case of flagging by AI of too complicated cases.
4.All lowest tier police force by surveillance drones,human intervention only to use/decide deadly force against criminals flagged by drones in act.

Samaritan or The machine ?

Would like the call centers to be replaced by actual AI, not the automated voice we have today. It will benefit both sides. the company and the customer.
Only people that will lose out are the call center employees

Then ex-politicians will interfere with the source code.:emoji_grimacing:

It would be the complete opposite actually. Citizens will be able to find out if the system is filling someone's pockets indirectly.

I fancy a drink, robot! Inventor snubs Isaac Asimov's nightmarish warnings that AI will one day rule humanity... by creating a ‘beerbot’ to top up his lager
