Robots could soon become advanced enough to make their own decisions
Robots will be able to make some decisions on their own—like where to bring a load of car parts—whether or not they will result in benefits for workers will be up to the humans deciding how they'll be used.
While automation and robotics certainly have the potential to save workers from lives of toil and misery—if they are indeed miserable—they also hold the possibility to deepen current inequalities, depending on whose hands they're in.
In most cases, repositioning labour doesn't mean that everyone gets to keep their jobs. Ultimately when you redeploy people from one job to another, there's a cascading effect that does eliminate jobs unless they're bringing in more work.

I bet they are smart enough to not sexualy harass co-workers
ReplyDeleteDonald E. Riley We can certainly hope for that.
