Don't be so self righteous. Skilled labor is at risk, too, just not yet. As soon as you computer geeks write software that allows AI machines to solve complex tasks like thinking of, and carrying out, experiments that lead to new disease therapies, it'll be bye-bye scientists. Watson is already being deployed on a trial basis in some hospitals to aid in diagnosing diseases. Its a slippery slope to The Matrix from there!
