Will AI and advanced robotics replace most jobs in the next 50-100 years?

Reports from McKinsey and the World Economic Forum indicate AI and automation could handle tasks equivalent to 45-60% of global working hours by 2035-2040, with studies showing rapid impacts on white-collar roles like accounting, coding, and radiology. Physical robotics advances are accelerating too, but new jobs in AI oversight, creative fields, and human-centric services continue to emerge. Over 50-100 years, the scale of change depends on technological breakthroughs, policy responses like retraining or universal basic income, and economic adaptation.
