BEWARE ! The Robots are Coming

What is Robot...?
A robot is a mechanical agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is operated by a computer program. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own.
Here, by the word “robot”, I’m using shorthand for “automation” – a mixture of improvements in hardware and software.

Is it dangerous for us...?

 These automated machines can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, and cognition. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature. 

Robots have replaced humans in the assistance of performing those repetitive and dangerous tasks which humans prefer not to do, or are unable to do due to size limitations, or even those such as in outer space or at the bottom of the sea where humans could not survive the extreme environments.

What’s your reaction to the suggestion that, at a stage in the next 20-40 years, you will lose your work to a robot ?

The suggestion is that automation will continue to improve until it reaches the stage when it is cheaper for your worker to use computers and robots to do your job, than it is to continue employing you. This change has happened in the past with all manner of manual and repetitive work. Could it happen to you?

People typically have one of two reactions to this suggestion:

1. My work is too complex, too difficult, too human-intense, etc, for a robot to be able to do it in the foreseeable future. I don’t need to worry.
2. My present job may indeed be outsourced to robots, but over the same time period, new kinds of job will be created, and I’ll be able to do one of these instead. I don’t need to worry.

Think again. Don’t need to worry?      

• Automation will cause increasing numbers of employee to lose their current jobs.
• Accelerating automation will mean that robots can quickly become able to do more works their ability to improve and learn will far outpace that of human workers – so the proportion of people who are unemployed will grow and grow.
• Even as technology improves, the economy will stagnate, with disastrous consequences. 
• This is likely to happen long before technologies such as nanotech have reached their full potential – so that any ideas of us existing at that time in an economy of plenty are flawed.

There are concerns about the increasing use of robots and their role in society. Robots are blamed for rising unemployment as they replace workers in some functions. The use of robots in military combat raises ethical concerns. The possibility of robot autonomy and potential repercussions has been addressed in fiction and may be a realistic concern in the future.

Robots are quickly becoming an important part of reality. These intelligent machines have already taken over manufacturing, so find out which other jobs robots are likely to take! Many companies are working on developing cars that drive themselves, so it can't be that long before robots take over driving jobs. This type of work is perfect for a robot; go from point A to point B, they could be easily implemented in trucking, taxi, and mail delivery services using GPS systems and special vehicles that sense surrounding traffic.They can also paint cars and assemble aircraft equipment. 

I think only Dharm guru, Pandit, Molvi & Padri's work will be safe.
