Recent studies by
experts have revealed that Robots will be capable of doing almost any job
that humans can within next 30 years due to advances in Artificial Intelligence
(AI). This means that more than half of the world’s population is on the
verge of losing their jobs in the future.
“Can the global economy adapt to greater than
50 per cent unemployment? Will those out of work be content to live a
life of leisure?”, Moshe Vardi, a computer scientist at the Rice
University in US said. He analyzed that machines and computers will
be capable of doing almost any job that a human can. “We are approaching a time
when machines will be able to outperform humans at almost any task,” Vardi
said.
Vardi, who serves as a
member of both the US National Academy of Engineering and the National
Academy of Science, also said, “I believe that society needs to confront this
question before it is upon us: If machines are capable of doing
almost any work humans can do, what will humans do?”. He further added,
“The question I want to put forward is, ‘Does the technology we are
developing ultimately benefit mankind?'”
A lot of middle class
jobs are getting eliminated over the fact that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is
increasing at a rapid level, which is increasing the existing potential of robotic
and AI technologies.
How dangerously it
affects the jobs and lives of millions and millions of people, is now the
matter to be seen.
