But, we can certainly benefit from their assistance. Vacuuming, for example, is one part of the job that we’re quickly offloading to the bots with more models coming out every day that have a greater learning capacity. These vacuum cleaners require virtually zero Human input. Essentially, they’re programmed to commence at a certain time and then run across the entire floor surface of your office. Its algorithmic learning allows it to memorise the floor plan and identify spots that typically require more attention while avoiding hazards like staircases. Huge companies like Dyson are investing millions into the research and production of cleaning machines with these AI capabilities. So it’s fair to assume they will soon become common household appliances. 

What about the other jobs? Well, we’re certainly not at the point where we can rely on robots to clean our toilets or dust our desks. But it seems like that is the direction the industry is heading in. Although, a robot capable of cleaning your entire office ought to be capable of much more. It raises the thought-provoking question – How many jobs are going to be lost to the ever reliable and expectation-free robots? I guess we’ll soon find out.
