Robots keeping track of inventory in retail stores are coming to take retail worker jobs The biggest threat to American Jobs is not Mexicans but Robots. Case in point is a job description I found in a company saying they "specialize in providing any retail store with live robots that keep track of their inventory". The job in particular is for a software engineer to implement artificial intelligence driven image processing. The stated goal is to build a robot to scan shelves in retail stores, to check the inventory. Thing is, the inventory management job is one of many that humans have held for hundreds or thousands of years. Now "they" want to replace humans in this job with Robots.
