#UK 8 industries robots will completely transform by 2025

Just as ATMs changed banking and computers took over the home and workplace, robots and artificial intelligence are going to transform a bunch of industries over the next decade.

By 2025, a machine may be putting together your driverless car in a factory with no human oversight. A robot maid could be cleaning up after you at home, and your financial advisor might be a computer investing for you automatically. 

And with at least 90 countries operating unmanned aerial vehicles, the wars of the future may increasingly be fought with « drone » aircraft.

These are just some of the interesting — and sometimes scary — predictions to come from a 300-page report released by Merrill Lynch in November, which estimates the global market for robots and AI will grow from $28 billion to more than $150 billion just five years from now.

There’s plenty of disruption bound to happen across the world as drones and much-smarter-than-you AI take over. But we’re likely to see the biggest changes across eight industries in China, Japan, the US, and Korea — the countries currently investing the most in these technologies.

Here are the big predictions from Merrill Lynch:

The auto industry is going to change big-time, especially when fully autonomous — aka driverless — cars officially go mainstream.

Over the next five years, the report says most new cars will be smarter « connected » cars, and in 2025, that’ll mean about 10% of them are fully autonomous.

While the initial price will be about $10,000 more than regular cars, it will inevitably come down as more people and companies adopt them.
