From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.
"The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces," said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.
But the report states: "Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do." Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.
"The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies," it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured "a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create," according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.
"Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change," Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.

Seiichi Sano, an 89-year -old Japanese man, rides a wave at Katase Nishihama Beach, Thursday, March 30, 2023. He has been recognized as the oldest male to surf (冲浪) by the Guinness World Records.
But maybe he will just keep surfing. "I think it would be interesting to try to surf until I' m 100," Sano said. "I think I take better care of myself when I have dreams like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before. "
Sano said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at his local bank. The man's skin was
always dark and he did not look like a usual worker. His secret to keep healthy and energetic, he said, was surfing. So, Sano found a teacher.
Sano gets out most weekends on the black-sand beach. "I don' t consider myself an old man," he said in his wet suit, board standing next to him. "I have never thought of myself as an old person. I always feel that I can still move forward. I can still do it. I can still enjoy it. "
Several young students who also work with Sano' s surf teacher tlked about Sano.
"I think age doesn' t matter in surfing," a 12-year-old surfer said.
"He is so amazing," added his younger brother.
"To be honest, I was surprised by his age," said Sano's surfing teacher. "I was worried that he would get hurt. I did not know how fit he was. "
Sano still works 9-to-5 at his job. Surfing helps make him less stressed. "People often say that surfing is life itself," he said. "I think it is true. "
Like many other countries around the world, China hopes to explore the moon. It has already done so with several probes(探测器) and lunar rover(月球车). But it has even bigger plans to put a man on the moon in the near future.
Yang Liwei, China's first man in space, said that it will "not take long" for a manned mission (任务) to get official agreement and money support, according to the Xinhua News Agency (机构).
China's space programme is still young compared to those of the United States and Russia. But it has already made great achievements in exploring the moon. Its moon mission (使命) began with Chang'e 1, an unmanned orbital probe(无人轨道探测器) that was sent up in October, 2007. It collected data that was used to create a 3~D map of the moon's surface.
China achieved another achievement with the Chang'e 3 mission. For this mission, China's first lunar rover, Yutu, successfully landed on the moon. bed. For China's space programme, it was another great achievement that Chang'e 4, the second lunar rover successfully landed on the moon's far side, an area that has not yet been explored, in December, 2018.
China will follow Chang'e 4 with a series of other lunar mission. These missions will include taking lunar soil and rock samples, building "moon base, and hopefully landing a human on the moon's surface around 2030, according to Zhao Xiaojin, a senior official at the China Academy of Space Technology.
Last year, when Yang Liwei was asked if he had any plans to visit the moon himself, he replied, "If I am given the chance, no problem!" It is likely that many other Chinese share Yang's excitement about this new stage of China's space exploration efforts.
