Believe or not, companies are already investing in robotic to be prepared to have artificial employees. They can successfully do a job or functions in their needed tasks, since the vision for the world in the not so far away future is that machines will be doing most of the jobs that people do today.
But that also means that humanity is losing a place and jobs against the robot that will come at some point in the future.
Artificial Intelligence And The Future Of Workers
This actually is kind of happening right now, in china most enterprises are reducing cost of human resources by having automated machines do the job that before it requires around 100 to 50 persons to do.
Additionally, because it is not a real person doing the job or task, it reduces a lot the costs of safety measures or bonus that most people have on a regular job.
Some of these machines are already considered robots since they are doing a human task in a more efficient way. And they are already programmed to focus with precision on doing right, but having a reaction or preventable action in case something goes wrong or out of the ordinary.
This of course rise up the debate on, what’s going to happen to people if robots are going to replace them in the future?
Well, so far the amount of machines and robots that are actually reducing costs and making people have to find other jobs is actually kind of balanced since the demand and offer always have to be kept in balance in order to avoid a collapse or negative reaction from the people and the society itself.
This is where artificial intelligence comes into play. It depends on how much of a being an artificial intelligence robot comes to play a part in our world, laws and workers’ rights.
Probably it will have to be changed since we are talking about a machine that is different from the rest to do a job or task that probably a human being could do, too.
But companies would prefer to hire or buy (again a hard concept depending on how an artificial being would be treated in the future) since they are not actually people and could do the job faster and better.
Right now there are laws that prevent a company from totally depend of machines on most countries. So, there are always offers to the people to have jobs and incomes of money in their lives.
However, when artificial intelligence comes into play to the society, we probably will have to deal with a matter that is going to bring humanity to a new era of those who agreed with them, and those who not.
