There's this American movie I watch which they were trying to shows us how it is possible that some AI can function with neuroscience, that's to say, they created an AI that can mimic every steps or move you make. For example, if you are close to the robot and you raise up you hands, it will do that same thing you did. After watching that movie, I saw a video on social media where a man was using that kind of AI to harvest carrots and potatoes in his farm. What happened was that, as the man was busy harvesting some carrots, the robot was just taking exactly same action that the man was doing and was also harvesting carrots too.

These means that there is steady improvement in the development of AI and with time, if every company can afford to buy this robots, they will actually go for it, to reduce costs of paying workers which will reduce the rate of employment by private companies but I think government jobs will still be available because the government can not allow people to suffer without any source of income.

This is already happening, AI is gradually replacing humans in certain fields and positions, but that does not mean it will push many people into unemployment or job loss. As technology develops it will change everything, some old jobs will be eliminated but it will create some new jobs for the world because this world cannot function without human intervention.

Not to mention, the government will know how to balance things because as you know, as the population continues to increase and if the unemployment rate increases, it will not be beneficial for the country at all. Social evils are created from that and I think they know that very well so there is no need to worry too much as AI becomes more and more present in our lives. There will always be a balance between humans and AI and governments will create that balance.

When the first machine was invented, people thought workers could take it easy. But what happened? More factories appeared, the workload increased, and capitalists were all smiles, while workers still had to toil away. When computers first came out, we thought we could say goodbye to pen and paper. But what happened? Now, we can't even go to the bathroom without taking our laptops, afraid of missing an email. And don't even get me started on phones—we thought they would broaden our horizons, but our view has shrunk to the size of a screen. Many jobs are now completed with AI assistance, and tasks that used to take three days now have to be done in one. Keynes once said that by the end of the 20th century, technological advancement would reduce the average workweek to 15 hours, but maybe only the Nordic countries have achieved that.


Artificial intelligence (AI) market interest growth 2015 to 2023, by share of companies

The picture showed how AI's market is growing so significantly every year. As more companies explore how to use AI, they are seeking a way to lower their costs.

The advancement of tech can't be avoided. The smart people will always think about how to follow it rather than how to stay away from it. It's hard to fight against the trend. And an example, dotcom bubble




Keynes once said that by the end of the 20th century, technological advancement would reduce the average workweek to 15 hours, but maybe only the Nordic countries have achieved that.


If I am not wrong, I must have read it somewhere that Nordic countries think about giving pension to their citizens once jobs will be done by AI and robots. We will come to that end at some point in our life and when there will be no jobs left for people, then they must be put on pension but then another problem will arise. What are people going to do when they won't have to work? This is the most interesting part and that part makes me afraid.


It sounds good for the current generation. They will get pension funds after AI takes their jobs. But, what about the future generation? Life is always moving forward. If it happens, AI will fully automate everything. There will be no jobs left for the future generation.

AI is really threatening and many of the simple jobs will be taken over by them. But AI, is going to make a lot of jobs more productive when they use it appropriately.

While many see it as a threat, just upgrade your skills so that you won't feel threatened by its emergence.

I think that the time will come as well that many of the jobs will come back to the traditions and people would have simpler life and still able to achieve work-life balance.

So what do you suggest? Dumping technology completely and going back to the middle ages? Grin
Technology increases the productivity of human labor, but capitalism wants more and more profits. I don't agree that the workers "still had to toil away". The modern day worker has way more labor rights and lower worktime than the 19th century worker, so there's definitely an improvement. I'm definitely not one of the people, who won't go to the bathroom without a laptop or phone. I use a laptop for about 4-5 hours a day, which is pretty normal. AI can be really helpful, if we know how to use it. More human jobs, that do boring and repetitive tasks will be replaced by AI, which good for the businesses.

There was an experiment done on rat and mice, it's called Calhoun's Rodent Utopia. They had all the comfort in their living space, unlimited food, water, etc, a pure heaven in other words. At first, things went uphill but then everything went absolutely downhill. Mice became violent, lost social skills, didn't mate and so on.

If you think that AI will take over jobs and we won't have to work and will be put on pension and that will be amazing, please readCalhoun's Rodent Utopia.

This view captures a basic issue in the relationship of technology and entrepreneurship: Innovation is first perceived as a independent business venture. This creates more free time for employees, but instead of decreasing employment, this often leads to increased demand. This was well illustrated by the Industrial Revolution's growth of factories: although machines were perceived as reducing more effort on work, But they also created more job openings.

Promises of performance are often packaged and sold with a type of culture so we cannot live with them nor be liberated by them with computers and smartphones. These tools can be chains. It makes us more accessible and less disconnected. The expectation of responding to emails or texts immediately means that taking a break is stressful.

 While some countries have moved closer to this ideal, many workers still leave each workday overtired, pushed to their limits. Tomorrow's challenge will be to make technologies make our life better than just leading them. Matching performance with success remains one of the key goals.
