A survey by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) has suggested that, in the next decade, robots could replace up to four million British private sector jobs. The RSA also posits that its findings point, for the large part, to improved roles for workers, having their roles altered rather than eradicated. In a report published on Tuesday, the RSA, which is affiliated with the University of Cambridge, said it had found evidence that automation was already affecting jobs and wages at companies across Britain.

However, trade unions have warned against the "shredding (of) good jobs", illustrating a widespread fear that bots will leave many humans unemployed.
