if we work on the assumption that Robots are actually just technology set consisting of machine learning algorithms, which are run on computers specifically built to execute specific jobs, they can actually be trained to do human jobs
So what jobs are in the firing line first? I think some of it will be surprising.
Doctors
Computers are robots will make excellent doctors, and the good thing is that the world does not have enough of them. At the ridiculous rate which the world population is growing, actually estimated to be 8.5 Billion people around the year 2030. I have read that if everybody who wants to become doctors, actually became doctors, we will still not have enough doctors. So this is definitely not a bad thing.
What about writers?

As we are all writers on the Steemit platform, we know how difficult it is to write. But when it comes to writing articles for newspapers, it is actually very possible to machine learning code, to teach computers to read data and match images etc.
Industrial workplaces
Robots are already replacing humans on specific industrial position. More specifically where industrial factories where the built vehicles.
Each additional robot in the US economy reduces employment by 5.6 workers, and every robot that is added to the workforce per 1,000 human workers causes wages to drop by as much as 0.25 to 0.5 percent. Such are the conclusions reached by MIT’s Daron Acemoglu and Boston University’s Pascual Restrepo, who published their findings at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Robots are replacing human workers at an alarming
Pharmacists
This might be closer than we think as if this is planned correctly, it is actually very possible to do with the technology that exist today. All that is needed is a carefully planned store room where the medicine are distributed from.
Lawyers

This is where the blockchain technology comes in backed with very specific smart contracts. A smart contract is nothing else than a workflow, with the potential of executing on specific rules. If we look at the Blokchain and crypto currencies, why can't we have a workflow, which paid out specifically on the rules provided. We might not replace all lawyers, but we can surely have less of them around :) Just joking, I have a lot of lawyer friends
The New York Times reported that Blackstone Discovery of Palo Alto, CA provided software that helped analyze 1.5 million documents for less than $100,000.
There are a lot more jobs that are in danger first, just think about Rescue Robots, Store Clerks, Drivers, Astronauts and Soldiers only to mention a few
