A Forrester Research report expects intelligent agent to displace about 6-percent of positions within the next five years.<\/p>\n

Within five years robots and so-called intelligent agents will eliminate many positions in customer service, trucking and taxi services, amounting to 6 percent of jobs, according to a Forrester report.<\/p>\n

“By 2021, a disruptive tidal wave will begin,” said Brian Hopkins, VP at Forrester, in the report. “Solutions powered by AI\/cognitive technology will displace jobs, with the biggest impact felt in transportation, logistics, customer service, and consumer services.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Intelligent agents, chat bots and digital assistants include Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Alphabet’s GoogleNow and Facebook’s Messenger bots. They are powered by artificial intelligence and they can already understand a person’s behavior, interpret their needs and even make decisions for them.<\/p>\n

AI-based services and apps will eventually change most industries, resulting in a redistribution of jobs, Forrester found. Self-driving cars, for example, will have wide-ranging impacts on both the auto and transportation industries.<\/p>\n

Facebook and Google are soaking up top talent and building huge bodies of data to train algorithms that will power all kinds of new services, the report found. They are already able to take things like images and video and convert that “unstructured data” into insights, like labeling objects in images.<\/p>\n

The bots of 2021 will be much better at understanding human language, and they will be better at learning from users and increasingly able to handle more complex scenarios. Those expanded cognitive abilities will make intelligent agents much more useful to people, and drive widespread adoption over the next three to five years, the report found.<\/p>\n
