If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors
and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory
workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we
underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better
than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more
comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could
there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for
the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main
job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent
robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then
they will adapt the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's
unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with
humans like another human can.

 A. Doctors and teachers B. Cleaner and factory workers
