Needs hands-on work
What this task is
Stock workers and vets watch over and assist births, handle difficult deliveries, care for newborns, and give injections, medicine and wound care to sick or injured animals.
How AI replaces it
The work requires hands-on handling of live animals in unpredictable situations with on-the-spot judgment, which robots cannot yet manage. Assistive devices may arrive from 2032, but broad automation is unlikely before 2045.
What stays human
People remain central to birthing and treatment, using temperature and activity monitors to anticipate births and illness so they can be there at the critical moments.
