Robots Should Inspire Hope, Not Fear

The future of work looks full of promise. Combining human brainpower with artificial intelligence, virtual reality and automatization will revolutionise how we work. Already, robotic enhancement is helping humans exceed their natural capabilities; AI is opening the door to real-time, personalized intelligent services cutting waste and maximising results. And virtual and augmented reality are enabling real-time learning, human-robot collaboration and better work safety.

Disruptive innovation is not exclusive to our age. Farming turned mechanized from manual; the manufacture of automobiles moved from a craft industry to assembly line production. But it raises huge questions for companies and workers who face the challenges – and opportunities – of digital disruption.

Technological revolution is our prime hope for meeting issues like ageing and shrinking societies. But we must acknowledge it can trigger fears, explaining, perhaps, the growing calls for radical responses, such as a state-guaranteed universal basic income to support swelling numbers of unemployed. Either way, digitalization throws up huge questions about people’s self-worth and sense of humanity.

Agree with your view. Technology revolutions happened several times in history. Yet, this time AI revolution must be at a very fast pace. When the term "deep learning" has become popular since 2006/07, the development of machine learning models has become very rapid. I believe, as you mentioned, AI can solve a lot of issues in our world and making use of AI wisely will surely benefit all of us

Great post!

AI in a perfect world should used for waste ellimination, fast production and logical decision-making.

Contrary to what the average-thinking people believe, with their opinion only based from sci-fi movies and such, robots should be able to actually help elliminate BS jobs and create more room for other sectors that need focus

Education , recreation, travel, sports etc.
