This is not a lie entirely. Definitely, the introduction of Robots and Artificial intelligence will make a lot of people unemployed if they do not do anything about it, because a lot of people will prefer to use a single robot to perform a job meant for five persons. But people will always adapt and live comfortably just as they have always be adapting since the advancement of technology. There is always a solution to every problem and some of the solutions to this employment issue as it relates to the use of robots are:
- leaving some job roles exclusively for humans: This is the best any government can do for his people. We all know that if only robots take up most of the jobs, a lot of persons will be displaced. The government has every right to issue an order to every organisation stating what percentage of job positions should be left for humans and what percentage can be handled by robots. This will go a long way in creating a balance in the country as a whole
- Self improvement: As technology is advancing, no one needs to be told to learns skills so they can meetup with the new standard. Improve as technology is improving so you can fit into the changing society.
Robots are invented by humans, humans can still regulate its use so it doesn't cause hardships instead of making life easier.
