In fact, neither a robot nor an artificial intelligence will answer you, yet, but by compiling data on technical advances around robotics and artificial intelligence and comparing them to the human capabilities required and described in job statements in the O*net database, which lists nearly 1,000 jobs, a team of roboticists at EPFL and economists at the University of Lausanne have created a tool that estimates the probabilities that a job will stay or go.
As the costs of robots decrease and their capabilities increase, more jobs will be affected.
You can go to "Robots, jobs, and resilience" with your approximate job title (in English) and you will get an index of the likelihood that your job will or will not be replaced by a robot. Teachers are relatively unscathed. Rest assured, teachers are relatively spared.
"The team looked at the H2020 European Multiannual Roadmap for Robotics (MAR), a European Commission strategy document that is periodically reviewed by robotics experts. The MAR describes dozens of capabilities required of current robots or likely to be required of future robots, grouped into categories such as manipulation, perception, sensing, or interaction with humans. The researchers reviewed research papers, patents, and robotic product descriptions to assess the maturity level of robotic capabilities, using a well-known scale for measuring the level of technological development, the "technology maturity level" (TML)."
"Suppose, for example, that a job requires millimeter-level motion accuracy. Robots are very good at this, so the NMT for the corresponding capability will show the highest level. A job requiring a lot of such skills will be more likely to be automated than a job requiring critical thinking or creative skills."

Cherishing old video game glories
Although technology allows us to practically play interactive movies, a significant mass of gamers are still very attached to games released in the 2000s, 1990s and even 1980s. How to explain this passion for "retrogaming"? Is it simply nostalgia or the desire to relive classic video game sensations?
The teaching vocation is losing ground
The loss of vocation towards the teaching profession can be seen everywhere. What is happening to make fewer and fewer people want to train young people? A decline in the prestige of the profession may partly explain this situation.
Rituals out of the religious path
The rites are part of the elements that led to the development of the one we will call Homo Sapiens. To mark the deaths, the births and the unions has its importance. If, for a long time, it was the great religions that took care of it, this is changing with a portion of the population seeking to detach itself from religious institutions.
The low place of female artists in museums
If it seems easy to name great male visual artists, the same cannot be said for women. It must be said that museums have a selection bias that offers little visibility to female artists. A journalistic investigation shows this reality in Switzerland.
Gender equality in science education: work to be done
While the university student population is rather parity, this is not the case for the faculty. The latter remains generally male-dominated, particularly in the medical and scientific fields. A tendency that UNIL is trying to change with a bold plan explained by videos.
