The Human Robots are coming and they’re taking our jobs! But is this really such a bad thing? This book shows us that we needn’t fear a future of widespread unemployment—instead, it’s possible to embrace new technology and create a future where humans and machines work together to create positive change in the world.
Humans are becoming increasingly less capable of performing manual tasks, and machines are learning how to perform them. This has created a new category of jobs, known as “human-machine”. It’s important to note, however, that these jobs are different from traditional “blue-collar” jobs. They are more about the knowledge and creativity that can only be developed by humans, than about the physical strength, stamina, or efficiency that can only be developed by machines. As a result, there is a growing debate about what constitutes a human being, and whether we should pay them for the work they do. Our robots are rapidly approaching human performance in many areas and this creates a number of interesting ethical issues.
How Robots Are Changing Work in Manufacturing
It’s not just automation that’s changing manufacturing. As the world of robotics and AI continues to develop, we are moving into the fourth industrial revolution. And this new wave of innovation is coming from a very unexpected place. The rise of robotics and AI are being fueled by a new generation of computer scientists who are passionate about solving problems, and a new breed of business owners who recognize the benefits of automation, not to mention the need to embrace the new economy. But while new technologies are advancing, the old economy, and its outdated practices, are starting to struggle. It’s a perfect storm. The question is: what can manufacturers do about it?
How Robots Will Change Work in the Service Industry
While humans are still needed to complete many jobs, robots will soon be doing most of the heavy lifting. By 2030, the employment rate of humans in the United States will have dropped below 50%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most of the jobs that remain will be service-oriented—and the service industry will be one of the few areas that will see a rise in employment rates.
When Human Robot Will Take Over
If you thought we were going to say Human Robot would be the end of humanity, you’d be wrong. While we can’t predict the future, what we can do is create an understanding of how things will continue to evolve. What we can do is build a mental model of what we see happening around us and then make predictions about how the world is going to change in the future. We can see the emergence of a new type of human in the near future—robotics. The technology for these robotics is already here.
The Importance of Collaborative Human Robot
As robots become increasingly more popular in the workplace, their influence will only continue to grow. While there are concerns that Human Robot could lead to mass unemployment, a recent study revealed that companies that have implemented collaborative robots have increased productivity by almost 20%. Additionally, research suggests that by 2020, around 80% of jobs will be taken over by robots. This means that people need to start thinking about what roles they want to fill in the future and whether it’s something that’s possible to automate.
When Work Will Be Made Easier by Human Robot
One of the best reasons why you should consider using robots in your company is because it will help speed up productivity, improve quality, and save money. A study published by Harvard Business Review in 2014 stated that robot workers could potentially replace almost 20 percent of all jobs in the US by 2030.
How Human Robot Will Affect Work at Home
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the percentage of jobs done by robots will increase from 11% to nearly 40% by the year 2023. At the same time, there will be a decline in the percentage of the workforce that is employed by humans.
Conclusion
The world has changed. Now we’ve entered a new era where robots have become more capable and human workers have lost their jobs. The way we work is evolving. It’s time to look at work differently and rethink what work means. Here’s how we can reinvent work and embrace the rise of the robot: We can harness the power of machines and technologies to enable us to focus our time and energy where it really matters: solving problems. Humans and robots working together in the same team will unleash the power of human ingenuity. This new era is a result of the democratization of technology. No longer do you have to be a software engineer, data scientist, or programmer to be able to harness the power of artificial intelligence. We can now democratize AI and build AI for everyone to use.
