Don't you know that unemployment rates will increase around the world and in all segments of society? All kinds of jobs will be automated and out-sourced to robots. For instance, a Japanese country has automated a farm to grow 30,000 heads of lettuce a day without any human involvement. The good news is that lettuce will be cheap but the bad news is that only a handful of people will make any money off of it. So who's going to buy consumer goods and services? The world's economy will collapse and there will be a global revolution.
I was reading something a while ago that estimated all low skilled jobs would be do able by robots by 2020 at the current rate of development. Its only a small leap for most office jobs to be done by AI as well.
