What happens if robots take the jobs?

From the Brookings Institution (www.brookings.edu) a research paper by Darrell M. West on "What happens if robots take the jobs?"

We read:

"Automation is appearing everywhere. Ready or not, innovations like robotics, computerized algorithms, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, medical sensors and machine-to-machine communications, 3-D printing, and autonomous vehicles will increasingly transform the global economy, even displacing many in the human workforce."
