PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttlers Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei gave the country a wonderful National Day gift by claiming the Korean Open title.

AI-powered"humanoid" robots are expected to lead to common construction jobs disappearing in the coming years, with one report forecasting that 7 in 10 construction jobs could be affected. — Photo: Jan Woitas/dpaThere have been warnings for decades that robots could replace people working in manufacturing and agriculture. More recently, concerns have grown that artificial intelligence could do the same with some white-collar jobs.

The number could keep rising if enough AI-powered"humanoid" robots are produced, according to investment bank Morgan Stanley, which speculated that"converging trends" could see large language model and ChatGPT-style generative AI installed in"people-shaped" robots. The investment bank estimates that the US could have over 60 million working humanoid robots by mid-century - a deployment that could"potentially" affect 75% of occupations and 40% of employees.

The US ranks tenth in terms of industrial robot use, according to the IFR, with 285 per 10,000 workers. South Korea is first, with around 1 robot for every 10 workers, with Singapore second and Germany third with over 400 robots for every 10,000 employees.
