Script
Interviewer: Good morning. Today we discuss the problem of robotisation. There is an HR specialist in our studio.

Mrs Brown: Well, good morning, Peter. Thanks a lot for your invitation. My name is Mrs Brown. I've been working as a human resources specialist for five years in an IT company.

Interviewer: So, every day we read news about progressive technologies. Elon Musk is planning to make a tunnel under Los Angeles for non-drivers electronic taxis. It means that the future is here. In several years robots will take taxi drivers' jobs.

Mrs Brown: You're right. Day by day, robots will take more and more jobs. In some cases, they do it better than humans. But it doesn't mean that we won't need people in the future.

Interviewer: Are there any professions that robots won't take in the nearest future?

Mr Brown: There's no way to know it 100 % until the future gets here. As we know, employers modernise their manufacturing to cut costs or to speed up production.

Interviewer: If we looked back to the previous hundred years, we could see that the automating industry grew rapidly and employment was growing robustly. Will we have the same tendency in the future?

Mrs Brown: There's no answer. We can just predict that there will be new jobs for robots that don't exist today. The fact that automation doesn't always increase jobs is a bit scary.

Interviewer: So, what should we do to prevent unemployment? Are there any ways out?

Mrs Brown: Firstly, don't panic. In some industries, people are better than robots. For example, in cooking personalized cakes or choosing colour and accessories in interior design. Don't forget that people are ready to organise things better than robots. All you have to do is go to a human worker and tell them: "Today we're making this instead of that", and people will cooperate innovatively; an ability that few robotic programs can quickly match.

Interviewer: But if we talk about social jobs such as doctors, teachers and cleaners. Will robots take their places?

Mrs Brown: Of course, they will. We can see this tendency even today. But we'll still have doctors, teachers and custodians. But these people will do other functions than robots. For example, we already have robot cleaners, but we still have human custodians. These people will clean in places that robots often can't. But they can control robots to make their work faster and easier. With the help of robots, they can clean larger areas more efficiently.

Interviewer: Mrs Brown, thanks for coming.

Mrs Brown: You're welcome. I just want to add that a diversity of abilities and skills opens more doors. A skilled and well-educated person has a better chance to find work in this world, robots or not!
