80% of IT Jobs can be Replaced by Automation

Amidst the anxious grumbling of his audience at last week’s Structure Conference in San Francisco, billionaire Vinod Khosla asserted that 80% of jobs in an IT department could be replaced by AI-type systems. Speaking to an audience of mostly CIOs and other tech executives, Khosla backed up his statement by citing examples of companies that are developing technology that would automate the IT industry.

Khosla believes that artificial intelligence will make its way to server rooms and data centers everywhere, taking over jobs from human IT staff. He explained that companies spend a lot on keeping a sizable IT department, a cost that can be significantly lessened with automation.

Positive view on automation is shared by Elon Musk. According to him, the automation will open up new opportunities for people, allow more time to rest and to work to perform more interesting tasks.

According to Emmanuel Marot, Director LendingRobots, robots will soon replace humans even in management positions. In Canada, for example, 30% of citizens believe that an unbiased computer program will be more reliable and ethical leader, than a man.
