Adair Turner said it would be possible to automate all jobs by 2060 .
Although it concluded that automation did not reduce the overall number of jobs available and even increased them , it found that from the 1970s to the 2010s , it had reduced the share of human labor in the value added to the work , and thus had helped to slow wage growth.  In April 2018 , Adair Turner , former Chairman of the Financial Services Authority and head of the Institute for New Economic Thinking , stated that it would already be possible to automate 50 % of jobs with current technology , and that it will be possible to automate all jobs by 2060.  2017 , South Korea became the most automated country on earth with one robot for every 19 employed humans .
