As I was reading an article titled "As Robots Replace Old Jobs, New Jobs Should Be Invented" by Gary Kasparov, he brought up the issues of robots taking over and machines replacing humans. He was not opposed to the fact that robots could potentially take over our jobs and occupations; he thinks that will always be something new that humans need help with that robots can do.
Kasparov said that intelligent machines will liberate humans from tedious labor, allowing us to be more initiative and ambitious. He also brought up the topic of "liberated" meaning unemployed. So if machines are taking over human occupations, what will be humans source of income? Everyone will be unemployed and robots will be doing our jobs so how will humans make money?

As luxurious as it sounds for robots to be doing our tedious labor, yes of course there has to have a down side.
ReplyDeleteThis most definitely seems like a difficult situation that we are approaching rapidly. If robots were to really take over our jobs, the only jobs left that I can think of are probably programming and making sure the robots remain clean. Other than that I'm not to sure what other jobs will remain.
Who would repair the robots when they break down? Us humans will. As long as we don't give machines emotions then we'll be fine,but I do agree that they might take over because the rapid production of machines and new technology. I also think if we always have a good understanding of the machines, we won't be overthrown by them.
