When E.M.I.L.Y. becomes more advanced (it is predicted that the next model will be able to be self-operated and will be able to sense struggling swimmers, propel itself into the water and find its way to them by using a sonar that finds disruptions in water patterns) it will negate the need for many lifeguards which will cause a loss of jobs. Eventually, E.M.I.L.Y. will be completely relied on to complete rescues. This has potential to backfire, as E.M.I.L.Y. is not yet able to reach down and grab swimmers or rescue unconscious citizens who are unable to hold on to E.M.I.L.Y. without assistance, which a lifeguard could have potentially prevented.

If this, or any other malfunction occurs, and E.M.I.L.Y. is recalled from use during lifesaving, there will not be a large amount of lifeguards to patrol beaches, as many would have had to find other work. This may cause beaches to be unmanned until more lifeguards are trained, meaning that if any swimmer were to get caught in a riptide or undertow there would be no one to help them.
