I robot – You unemployed

According to recent studies, there are currently about 11 million jobs done by humans that will be replaced by automation in the next 20 years. When I say automation I mean machines, commonly known as ROBOTS.

The jobs most at risk are those in the transportation and retail sectors. In fact, the transport sector could have 1.5 million jobs, that is, 74% of the current workforce, replaced by automation and 60% of retail. It’s not surprising when you see how popular online shopping has become – who needs a high street store?

Almost 750,000 have been lost in manufacturing due to automation in the last 15 years alone.

Even Stephen Hawking, the renowned scientist, fears that AI or Artificial Intelligence could eventually spell the end of the human race.

He said that while primitive forms of artificial intelligence had already proven very useful, the future consequences were very serious.

“Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it will take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate.”

“Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, would not be able to compete and would be outcompeted,” he said.

It’s ironic that it uses Intel’s newly developed AI to communicate at a faster rate now than before.

The system, developed by Intel over three years, reduces the number of movements required to spell words, while giving Professor Hawking new features, such as sending email attachments.

“Hawking’s write speed is twice as fast and there is a tenfold improvement on common tasks,” Intel said in a statement.

Of course, this is fantastic news for those with motor neuron disease or similar conditions, of which there are millions around the world, and it shows AI in a very positive light.

Some people find it scary: what are all the people whose jobs are being replaced supposed to do? Others simply see it as a natural progression of human ingenuity, another kind of industrial revolution. Everyone will have to adapt. After all, we now have unmanned aircraft (drones) flying through our skies, but they are still controlled by humans, albeit remotely.

However, not everything is pessimism, there are areas where jobs are being created in the health and social work sectors, 1 million since 2000.

Apparently the education, communication and information sectors are the ones with the most secure jobs and least likely to be automated, which is hardly surprising as people will always want to talk to other people, so if you’ve just entered to the labor market or even in their thirties. looking to secure some kind of future, then these areas would seem like the logical choice.

Then there is sport, a veritable bastion of human activity and, if you are good enough, very lucrative. Nobody is going to want to see a man/woman against a machine, apart from chess, which, let’s face it, is not a sport.

We may want to see machine vs. machine, which is already popular with shows like Robot Wars, but what we really want to see is male/female vs. male/female due to the all too human desire to be the best and win.

Humans are an interactive species; After all, who among us would rather hear a human voice at the end of a phone than the endless automated menus we’re so often subjected to? (The problem is that once you get past the automated menu and finally speak to a human, you’ll be prompted to repeat all the security information you already provided to get this far in the first place, but that’s a different topic for another! day!).

No one knows exactly how it will turn out, but one thing is for sure: it will be an interesting ride, probably in an automated self-driving car.
