Why would we want a machine to learn and act rather than a human?

Judges are significantly more lenient after a food break (Danziger et al 2011).
Please list what it would it take for an algorithm to automate your job.
Please try to convince your partner that their job is automatable.
Retail and sales jobs will be increasingly affected by automation.
Big data analysis is automating paralegal, contract law and patent law tasks.
“a lot of people who used to be allocated to conduct document review are no longer able to be billed out” [NYTimes, 2011].
Robotic process automation is automating clerical work.
Accounting and auditing are also being automated by smart software.
Many logistics tasks are now being automated with the use of machine learning and mobile robotics technologies.
Vehicles will be recording their environment constantly, generating big data with consequences for insurance, law enforcement, mining and meteor detection.
Chelyabinsk, 2013
So, if machines can drive, serve customers, and look through data, for what are humans still good? We suggest: creativity
and social intelligence.
Autonomous manipulation is also hard.
Precisely, manipulation in unstructured environments is difficult to automate.
Will an algorithm steal your job? Perhaps an algorithm can tell us! We used a Gaussian process to classify the automatability of occupations using data from the US. Job Title

In 1900, 40% of US workers were farmers; in 1999, the figure was 2%. In 1900, unemployment was 5%; in 1999, it was 4.2%. Will new technologies threaten the historical pattern of employment resisting technological change?
as having the lowest probability of computerisation have created approximately 3.5m jobs while higher probability occupations have lost over 800k jobs
