There is no such thing as a future-proof career. This is something I consider almost every time I write about advances in genetic artificial intelligence. Is there any sense in which I am contributing to the spread of my eventual replacement? Probably! But don’t worry, that’s my problem. As for you my robotic friend, you’ll be fine.
While the past few years have been tough for the tech industry in general, the robotics industry has largely been isolated. I say largely Here’s why, in the same way that future careers aren’t one thing, no industry is completely immune to job loss. iRobot’s still-fresh example continues to loom large.
But again, there’s good news for you, the robot. For at least as long as I’ve been covering this industry, there has been no shortage of open roles. These jobs always run the gamut, from huge companies like Amazon to newer startups that have yet to announce their first product. Whether you’d rather choose the relative safety of a large company or the nimble innovation of a small team is entirely up to you.
In both cases, there is plenty to choose from.
