If technology is climbing the ladder and able to perform various tasks, then surely it is moving ahead in cognitive department.
Next, notice a shift - "however" so either imperfectly or spontaneously fits. If teachers and others thought they were protected from automation, but now even their jobs can be performed by the AI. So, the second blank has to be imperfectly.
The third blank is now easy, because the jobs are only going to be shrinking if the AI soon to replace humans in these new sectors.
