According to a new report from the National Intelligence Council, robots will be able to replace people in a series of menial jobs by the year 2025. The report dictates that an influx of robo-workers will "disrupt unskilled labor markets," with robots taking jobs currently performed by migrant workers, high school students and the like.

Additionally, the report states that emerging technologies could be used to assist humans to perform tasks such as caring for the elderly. The report offers no word as to when robots will be able to run for congress or write blog posts about tech news items.
