　　　 Several Jobs That Will Be Automated By Artificial Intelligence(AI) And Robots

　　　Translator

　　　Image recognition software and voice recognition software are bringing some major advances to language translation．Applications like Google's Word Lens can translate words from signs and documents in real time and there ale a lot of translation apps that allow you to type in a word or phrase and will translate it for you．

　　　Some will even speak the phrase for you and raw word-to-word translation will be fully automated soon．

　　　Fast food workers

　　　Automated ordering booths have already made their way into a few McDonald's restaurants around the world，and cooking positions could be removed next．The booths probably can't handle customer service problems well，so televideo systems could bring in an office employee to deal with complaints．

　　　Field technician

　　　New advances in the Internet of Things could make this work obsolete．

　　　Low-cost sensors combined with high availability cellular／satellite communications and cloud technology are being started to automate and alarm these sites，and can be checked and maintained from a desktop or mobile device．

　　　Sales representative

　　　But，e-commerce is changing how we make purchasing decisions，especially those where there isn't much differentiation among the major competitors．

　　　If you're selling a high-differentiation product and／or a high-price，low-volume product you have some job security，but if you're selling a high-volume，low-differentiation product，you better start polishing your resume，said Doug Camplejohn，CEO of Fliptop．"These kind of product sales are all moving online．"

　　　 "Mayday! We got Mayday!"Frank Pisano screamed over the microphone to the air control tower at the airport．One of the two engines on his plane had failed，and he was now going down towards one of the busiest highways in America-Interstate 405，just south of Los Angeles-and there was no stopping it．

　　　Driving south on the 405，near the airport'S runway，was John Meffert，a fire department captain．He was heading home from his shift when suddenly a low-flying plane caught his eye．After he took a second glance，a thought crossed his mind："This plane's going to hit me．"

　　　He was right．The plane slammed into the road，popped up a few feet，and then clipped the front of Meffert's car．It finally stopped after hitting the divider(隔栏)．Meffert pulled over．He was unhurt，and his car had received only a large scratch，so he turned his attention to the plane．He ran towards the smoke，and then he saw Frank's wife，Janan Pisano，pop her head up on the passenger side．

By the time Meffert reached the aircraft，part of it was on fire and Janan，who was covered in blood，was on the wing trying to pull her husband from the wreck．Meffert，afraid the plane would explode，guided
