Winter is over, and the weather in Shanghai has changed suddenly, as if winter has entered overnight. In such weather, you and I who shrink in the quilt in the middle of the night, even if we are hungry, we are unwilling to leave the warm quilt and prepare a supper for ourselves.
Cold and hungry nights, in the deep big data era today, will not make you feel lonely and helpless lack of happiness, because as long as you open the e app, the history of previous takeaway orders, what supper shops are nearby, how long to wait for to be delivered to your hands, this information is simply at your fingertips.
I have to say that big data brings us too much convenience, and our lives have slowly been inseparable from these data pushes.
But is big data really, only beneficial and harmless?
The book "The Law of Survival in the Era of Big Data", which I want to introduce today, can answer this question. Written by Nicholas Aga of New Zealand, the book focuses on the intelligent world of the data age and explains how the intelligent world will affect our work and life.
1. We now live in the digital age
Remember the news that the 36-year-old highway toll collector was laid off, crying, and saying there was no way to live? Why was she cut? Because of the new rise of etc, there is no need for so many high-speed toll collectors. etc is more efficient, convenient and can produce greater economic effects. This news reminds me of a saying: the times are going to abandon you, and they will not greet you in advance.
Similar to this news event, there is one more. Ma Yun's hippo fresh restaurant, there is no waiter inside, the restaurant dining mode is to scan the code online ordering, robot assembly line delivery. This wave of operations again omitted all the waiters. The age of capital is constantly chasing profits, and in the process it will always sacrifice a part of the group.
It turns out that the data age does not bring us all the benefits, and there is always a part of the population that has been ruthlessly abandoned in the data age.
Since some jobs will be affected in the data age, can we predict what other jobs will be replaced as the data age evolves? The answer is "yes."
2. The era of artificial intelligence
Big data through integrated analysis has spawned artificial intelligence, the first artificial intelligence to defeat the world's Go masters, it is called alphgo, it has deep learning ability, and not only tired, can learn quickly, Go level more than first-class masters.
In recent years, Go has always been loved by parents, because learning Go can promote children's logical thinking, cultivate children's ability to concentrate and think independently, so many parents from kindergarten, send their children to learn Go. Imagine the skills that human cubs have studied from young children, defeated by robots, in other ways, can humans compete with artificial intelligence? I believe that only than technology and accuracy, artificial intelligence is better than humans.
"The Law of Survival in the Era of Big Data" mentions that 99.9% of the work in the future can be replaced by artificial intelligence, only 0.01% of the work exists, and this 0.01% is the work of operating artificial intelligence. If that's the case, then what is the value of ordinary people's existence?
3. Advantages of humans compared to artificial intelligence
With the development of science and technology, artificial intelligence will become more and more popular, especially if it is wrong, it will pay a huge price. For example, airplane drivers, truck drivers. As we all know, during the flight of the aircraft, once an air crash occurs, rescue is very difficult, so the requirements for aircraft pilots are very high, for this position that requires high operational accuracy, the involvement of artificial intelligence will be deeper and faster.
For other occupations, such as hotel room cleaners, baristas, barbers, these occupations can also be replaced by artificial intelligence, but humans have an advantage over artificial intelligence. For example, hotel room cleaners, because each guest's room is not cluttered, artificial intelligence is difficult to implement uniform standards. In addition, like baristas and barbers, they are serving us as waiters, we would prefer to get their professional recommendations, people's tastes and preferences will change with the mood and change every day.
Human beings have seven emotions and six desires, there is a life of perception and thinking, and artificial intelligence is increased by code programs to increase data synthesis, some need creativity, insight, need to pay the real sense of resonance and sense of substitution of occupations, I believe that artificial intelligence can not be replaced.
In the book "Survival Rules in the Era of Big Data", the next era - "the era of interpersonal communication" is mentioned, the author believes that interaction and interpersonal communication are human advantages and strengths, if artificial intelligence also has a human thinking mode, it will be a human nightmare.
Friends, think about it, does your position require interpersonal interaction? Know more about the rules of survival in the data age and check it out in the book.
No matter how science and technology develop, as long as we keep learning and exploring, maintain an open and embrace change mentality, I believe it will not be abandoned by the times.
