Is the job as stuntman being threatened?

in #technology6 years ago (edited)

A lot was made about the potential loss of employment due to technology. Many jobs at the lower end of the spectrum are expected to be eliminated due to automation. We also can see many office jobs, especially those dealing with numbers, replaced by algorithms.

Could the job of stuntman be next?

Disney created robotic stuntmen that can do flips 60 feet in the air.

Is this the beginning of a shift towards using more robots in the movies?
