Whenever there is a change in sight there is also a sense of hesitation in the air. The Swiss think-tank has warned that there can be a fourth industrial revolution waiting to happen. It may be as close as by 2025 when it is estimated that the artificial Intelligence will take place of about three thirds of the human based workforce. This is not completely unthinkable as the artificial intelligence or famously known as the robots have taken over about 52 percent of the workforce currently.
Or to be specific this has been happening for over a decade and has even significantly affected the way people approach their jobs. Even scarier is that think-tank has gone to the extent of determining that by 2022 almost 75 million people will be out of jobs. Of course, this information is scary and not appreciated by the people. When a survey was conducted by Pew Research Internet it was found that a good majority of 77% people were worried about the robots taking over so quickly.
Only the 33% of the people were actually enthusiastic about robots doing most of the work for them. Although experts console the people by share their belief that the even though jobs will get fewer in the future but the possibility of completely eliminating opportunities for human beings is not possible. Artificial intelligence is made to make life easier for people who mean that only the boring and repetitive jobs are programed in to the robots. One reason for doing is to help the people as the monotonous work can cause a lot of issues for the people health wise and also to maintain productivity as the level of productivity reduces with time in repetitive work. This is the knowledgeable opinion of Erik Brynjolfsson and also, Daniel Rock along with MIT and Tom Mitchell from Carnegie Mellon University. According to these intellectual peoples opinion it is believed that the complete idea of this debate is rather pointless. As what should be worrisome is how the work should be altered enough to have enough employment for the people. The director of Asiatic Research Institute of the Korea University believes it is time that education is focused and serious work must be done in this sector so that people are helped. His simple argument is that each robot by the end of the day requires human input. So, if the artificial intelligence industry is increasing people should be given appropriate skills and education to cater to the advancing industry. The race between education and technological advancements will never seem to seize unless people stop innovating.
In all honesty it is difficult to say innovation and advancement will do any good in the situation where technological boom is faster than ever. According to express.co.uk a survey done throughout 46 countries in 800 different working environments in 2017 about one billion people are already estimated to be replaced by 2030.
Even though these stats are scary and anxiety provoking. It gives a little sense of calm that an even bigger workforce is growing in the direction to counter these predictions. New jobs are emerging; some nations are investing heavily to beat the trends and also the fact that people are focusing their energy on finding their own new venture and into becoming entrepreneurs.
To conclude we can say it is better to be prepared for the worst!
