From MSNBC The Dylan Ratigan Show -- "Jobs are already scarce in America despite some early signs of recovery. but the latest threat to employment might not be outsourcing, It might actually be robots. According to one estimate, there could be more than 1 million robots working jobs that used to belong to humans in the next two years alone."
What? In two years robots could be doing the jobs that one million people now do? Really? Really! Is there a robot job threat? See the video.
I can't imagine for a minute that I could be a Luddite, crying to slow the pace of technology, or railing to ban the machine to save the humans jobs. Progress means going forward into the undiscovered country, where we may literally find that literary creation, the brave new world, and for every job a robot takes an opportunity to make life better for people may well open up. Yeah? Right. I believe that.
I wouldn't be surprise if AI robots replace many of the repetitious and risky jobs that people don't do well. It is a stretch to think that AI's will compete against and not assist people, and will replace and not supplement people.
