Robots

Robots have displaced a lot of the traditional American workforce.  In many
cases, robots can weld things quicker, more precisely and more inexpensively
than humans.  They can work with heavier parts and with smaller parts than a
human can.  They can also sense when there is a need to make adjustments
better than a human can. 

Many professions have a lot to fear about being replaced by robots (and their
thinking cousins computers).  However robots (and computers) are not people,
and thus as long as there are people in organizations there will be a need
for human risk managers.  Risk is about managing people, and only people can
effectively manage people.
