We all know that artificial intelligence is going to rule the world one day – according to theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking at least. But even if you don’t believe that our future is as dire as humans bowing down to our android overlords, we can agree that at some point we’ll all lose our jobs to A.I.

As an actor and television host, I assume that my comeuppance in a job apocalypse will be at its end. I will be one of the last holdouts of employed humanity as robots eat up all other jobs. To be fair, A.I. isn’t really eating up jobs of the future. It’s gobbling them up right now!
