In Japan, robots to aid with elderly care are being developed[1]. Probably won’t eliminate all elderly care jobs but likely will reduce the amount required. Japan is facing worker shortages and doesn’t like immigration, hence robots. I personally wouldn’t like to be looked after 100% when I’m old by a robot, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out in Japan. The rest of the rich world will face similar problems in the future.
I've heard it said like this: AI will take over repetitive manual and repetitive cognitive tasks. The only thing required is that the task be repetitive (so plumbers are safe (every house is different), but truck drivers and radiologists maybe not).
