Robot Takeover? Futurist Predicts End of Most Jobs Within 20 Years

The future of work is arriving faster than expected. A new report from San Francisco-based think tank RethinkX warns that robots may replace most human jobs within 20 years. Futurist Adam Dorr likens the shift to past technological disruptions, but says this one could be far more sweeping—transforming industries, eliminating traditional labor structures, and forcing society to rethink everything from ownership to purpose. With companies like Tesla, Hyundai, and Boston Dynamics racing to scale humanoid robotics, the era of widespread automation is no longer science fiction—it’s a looming reality.
