A study published in 2013 by Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne of Oxford University stoked anxieties when it found that 47% of jobs in America were vulnerable to automation. Machines are mastering ever more intricate tasks, such as translating texts or diagnosing illnesses. Robots are also becoming capable of manual labour that hitherto could be carried out only by dexterous humans. Yet America is the high ground when it comes to automation, according to a new report from the same pair along with other authors. The proportion of threatened jobs is much greater in poorer countries: 69% in India, 77% in China and as high as 85% in Ethiopia. There are two reasons. First, jobs in such places are generally less skilled. Second, there is less capital tied up in old ways of doing things. Driverless taxis might take off more quickly in a new city in China, for instance, than in an old one in Europe.
参考译文:
在2013年,牛津大学的Carl Benedikt Frey 和 Michael Osborne公布的研究报告增加了(人们的)焦虑情绪。报告中指出美国47%的工作会受到自动化的影响。机器正在掌握更复杂的能力,例如翻译文本或者诊断病情。到目前为止,机器人的动手能力也越来越接近熟练工。
而据来自同一研究机构的新报告指出,在自动化进程中,美国还是有优势的。在更落后国家中失业率将会更加加剧:印度69%,中国77%,埃塞俄比亚高达85%。有两个原因。第一:这些地方的工作一般缺乏技术含量。第二:旧的生产方式占用较少的资金。例如:比起欧洲某个古老的城市,无人驾驶可能更快的在中国的新城市中投入。
