Computer engineering professor Roman Yampolskiy said machines will do the same things most humans do around the year 2045.

University of Louisville computer engineering professor Roman Yampolskiy is studying artificial intelligence. He says most Americans don’t understand and aren’t prepared for the takeover of many jobs by robots in the very near future. Many repetitive jobs are already being done by computers or robots.

“We’re starting to see more intellectual jobs being automated and once we get to the human level, everything goes,” Yampolskiy says. “The prediction is, something like, 2045 is the likely time when machines will do the same things most humans do.”
