The thirst for technology is simply the staple of the human condition, its foolish to worry about a threat to an industry and its workforce as a result of a prolific infusion of tech into it, because newer and better industries will always fill the gap left.

No one bemoans the loss of paper boys 'or the landline telephone, low skill labor industries will vanish but that's a good thing.

i didn't see an automated factory, but I did see a warehouse with lots of robot pallet movers.

Once personal machines surpass the 14 Peta Flop range then Robot Autonomy and personal AI will be very much more human like in terms of interface depending how well future nanotechnology can deal with the silicone 5ghz barrier will determine how long before we get Peta bots.

the wicked witch tempted the children with a candy apple so shiny and red. Yes, they would have one, of course they would, what child would pass it up ? But when the children ate the apple, suddenly they were under the spell of the wicked witch who made only as many poisoned candy apples as there were children.

if a robot or ai can do everything we can do better then they will do everything...

[nachoridesbikes]

why is people worried n about loosing their jobs, if jobs stops cos of machines that means, there is no need to work, as machines can fulfill all our needs

[sunilkumartharakkal]

In future when many jobs will be lost to AI and robots then there would be nothing left to do. It would be matrix and mad max rolled into one.

[jambobjambo]

WTF, why does the NHS women completely avoid the question? She didnt ask if she thourght AI would replace the NHS just save it?!?!?!

[clubmeditation]

No! Sacking this Joke of a government and reinvesting in the NHS will save the NHS!

[LimitsOfPower]

we should be looking for a solution to employ more people not replace people with robots... the problem with our " modern society " is that we are all about maximizing efficiency i.e profits. making a lot of money at the expense of poor people who are willing to work for their living. How would it hurt the rich corporate owners to hire more people and give higher pays and reduce their personal profits... the money we horde in our savings accounts belong to the people and should be spent and not saved. the less money saved in the banks the more money in circulation, what that basically means is that everyone will have money and earning money can be easy. sometimes I feel we aren't that different from the robots we creat.. cold, heartless and lack empathy and reason.
