Intellectual robots can deprive millions of people of jobs

In fiction, artificial intelligence often represents a hidden threat to the capture and enslavement of mankind. Some people tend to share this concern in real life. However, the researchers believe that the robot conqueror can be a more finely organized mind.

What is expected in the next 30 years?

Director of the Institute of Information Technology at the University of Rice, Moshe Vardi, argues that in the next three decades, advanced robots will seize the main jobs. The catastrophic figure is sounded: tens of millions of people can remain without means of subsistence. Is there a threat in fact?

At the annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science held a meeting on the subject of artificial intelligence. Scientists want to pose a question to society: what will each person do if he is forced out of the workplace by a robot? To date, machines can accurately do any mechanical and intellectual work.

Drivers of public transport are under threat

According to Vardi estimates, now about 10% of jobs are related to driving vehicles (taxis and trucks). In the next 25 years, robot drivers can make a worthy competition for people. Many other areas of professional activity will also be under threat, because cars are becoming smarter and smarter.

It is necessary to foresee the consequences of accelerated introduction of innovations

So, artificial intelligence increasingly affects the life of a person. Robots make things easier. However, in recent years, innovative technologies are experiencing a real boom. That is why scientists need to anticipate the consequences of accelerated innovation.

Conclusion

A person can not escape responsibility, because the welfare of our next generation is under threat. We should not blindly introduce artificial intelligence into production, without thinking about the consequences. At the beginning of the industrial revolution there was a global automation of jobs, but this did not contribute to the growth of unemployment. Now the task of the world community is to organically integrate robots into existing systems. In addition, it is necessary to take this into account and create new jobs.
