Worry? How about embrace and take advantage of it. There are many new jobs in the field of robotics and automation and this field will grow. Those robots have to be designed and maintained by somebody and the software has to be developed and maintained. Even if robots make robots, there are jobs making those too. There is sales, delivery, setup, parts, designing of parts, manufacturing, assembly, upgrades, repair, even end-of-life and recycling of robots, training and reusing their parts.
It's a whole new line of work that requires specific skill sets. There will be new billionaires made on new companies that focus on automatic and robotics and many people will work in the industry. It's going to be huuuuuge.
There was a guy posting about that a few months ago. He said eventually machines will design and manufacture the machines. So humans are not needed.
My understating is that most banks are suggesting (pushing) customers that come into banks to use the ATMs and apps. They are on the one hand doing this, yet on the other hand using data research to see what kind of services they can push on customers when they deal with them (ex. "Do you need an HELOC, auto loan, new mortgage, etc...?", but even that can be pushed by apps.
Look at Wells Fargo not too long ago. They gave bonuses to employees for opening new accounts, adding services etc. and ended up with a huge mess when the employees did these things without the customers approval.
Automation would solve that problem. The app or AI is not going to push the envelope beyond what the bank wants.
The new jobs created will not match the old ones destroyed thats why this wave of automation is different from previous ones. If you are in the elite of skills you will likely still be employable 20 years from now however mid level and low level jobs will become very rare.
This is an argument that has been made with literally every major technological advance. You could replace AI, with computers, the combustion engine, the cotton gin, etc. AI is dangerous for a number of reasons, but resorting to some type of Luddite fear of the evisceration of all jobs has never proven to be a worthwhile endevor, nor an accurate one.
A forward looking country embraces technological advances and prepares its workforce accordingly. A backwards looking one tells its citizens that outdated processes and jobs are "coming back" and leaves them complacent and unprepared to compete against other countries.
