Will AI and Robots Take Over Our Jobs?

This video shows the influence of mechanization, automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and robots on people's jobs.

Machines have made people obsolete for ages. In 1870, 50% of Americans worked in agriculture. In 1980, automation and better efficiency reduced the proportion to 4%. In recent years, elevator operators were replaced by buttons, cashiers by scanners, and cafeteria personnel with self-serve equipment. From 1990 to 2007, automation reportedly cost approximately 400,000 U.S. employment. As firms strive to minimize expenses, the push to replace humans with technology will likely increase.

If industry stays in survival mode, robots will replace more workers. MIT and BU economists say robots might replace 2 million jobs by 2025.

Successful organizations don't require as many employees nowadays because of automation. Apple has less than 137,000 workers, compared to AT&T's 758,611 in 1964.

Many Fortune 500 businesses generate billions annually, yet most of it goes to shareholders. Google, Facebook, and Netflix don't create jobs; they increase shareholder profit.

John McCarthy invented "Artificial Intelligence" in 1956. (AI). For years, universities and labs researched AI. In recent years, AI, particularly machine learning, has gained popularity. Machine learning lets computers learn from data without being instructed. Which occupations may AI and robotics replace?

AI and robotics might replace monotonous, readily mechanized jobs. Many repetitive manufacturing duties can be done by robots, putting factory employees at risk for automation. Cashiers and fast-food employees are particularly at danger since they repeat the same task.

Some airports have resorted to robots to clean the floors due to the coronavirus outbreak. Several Asian airports have employed robots to combat virus transmission. The robots' high-pressure water jets clean enormous areas fast. The devices can clean any surface independently or with human help.

AI and robots are typically quicker and more precise than humans. They may labor longer and in riskier situations. A robot might be sent into a dangerous region to gather data or repair equipment, when a person would be in danger.

AI and robots have sped up and simplified numerous processes. Chatbots have made online customer service simpler, for example. Self-driving vehicles might minimize traffic congestion and automobile accidents, saving lives. AI and robotics are readily programmable, which is another benefit. They can accomplish things that people can't, such as working in confined areas or on high or low surfaces.

In recent years, much has been said regarding AI's future (AI). Experts think AI will soon be able to perform everything humans can and even the impossible.

AI is become more advanced every day. Unknown is this technology's future.

AI automation might lower salaries. When robots can perform human labor, companies require fewer humans, which lowers salaries. When machines manufacture products or services, prices tend to fall. This is awful news for living-wage employees.

Automation will hurt minorities, especially low-wage jobs. Cashiers, food-service employees, and customer service professionals are among the world's 15 most at-risk jobs. A major corporation predicted before the outbreak that technology may eliminate 132,000 Black jobs by 2030. Millions of Americans currently live in a two-tier work economy created by machines. According to the BLS, 22% of U.S. employees are at danger of automation.

Technology is making automation more widespread. Automation may affect social connections and jobs. People are getting more isolated due to time spent online and technology performing more labor. This harms mental health and relationships.

Artificial intelligence is getting more advanced every day. AI's infinite uses might touch many facets of human life. AI might potentially be utilized to exploit and hurt people.

Elon Musk has made scary AI forecasts. He's compared AI to North Korea and asked for regulatory monitoring.

AI is progressing quickly. Experts predict AI to pass the Turing test soon. This test for computer intelligence requires a person to be unable to differentiate the machine from another human based on their answers to questions. AI will equal the human brain's level.

We must also be mindful of AI's hazards, such as cyberattacks, and defend ourselves. We must guarantee AI helps humans as much as possible.Developing ethical rules for AI, implementing laws to avoid exploitation, and investing in research will help ensure AI is utilized for humanity's advantage.

As AI evolves, we must handle prejudice, privacy, and AI agent rights.
AI's future is unknown, but it will continue to transform our lives.

If we were all rich; none of this would be a problem. People could do what they want but by far the best alternative would be to work with AI to build a resource based economic/social model for all people.

what is the name of the airport that has started using robots to clean the floor ?

We will all be come obese and depressed.
