Artificial intelligence replaces human labor
In recent years, the artificial intelligence industry has developed rapidly, not only in the field of scientific research, but also in daily life. People are starting to worry about how this new technology will change people's lives, whether it will be a positive change or a negative change. One of the most worrying is the potential for artificial intelligence to replace human labor on a massive scale, a disaster for a country of 1.4 billion people.
The reason why many companies are keen to develop artificial intelligence products is because it can replace manual labor, and the one-time investment is relatively high in R&D costs, but the cost required in the operation and maintenance process is much lower or even negligible. Moreover, compared to human employees, machines not only have no restrictions on working hours and efficiency, but also do not affect the quality of work due to personal reasons. Therefore, from the perspective of enterprises, the introduction of artificial intelligence is an effective way to improve productivity.
But the consequence of this is that the 1.3 billion working people who would have sold their labor to make ends meet could all be unemployed because they no longer need to do the work. Even if this scale has not yet occurred, there are signs that that day is not far off.
For example, many technology companies have joined in the current very hot driverless technology, trying to develop driverless cars that can completely replace human drivers. Although the taxis in the trial operation stage are also staffed, once this technology is officially commercialized, drivers who used to drive to support their families may really lose their jobs.
Dealing with unemployment
In the face of these possible changes, what can we do to make AI truly work for us? The solution to this problem is not difficult, but the challenge is to completely change our attitude towards technological innovation in the past. Although every technological innovation in the past has brought some employment problems, on the whole, the development of society is moving in a better direction.
What we should do is to find those areas that are suitable for the development of AI, and at the same time, we should try to maintain a balance between AI and human labor, and not let it all dominate. Moreover, more importantly, when formulating relevant policies, we must first do a good job of sufficient research and analysis, and we must not only take into account the immediate interests and ignore the overall situation of long-term development.
Everyone participates in labor production not only to solve the problem of food and clothing, but more importantly, to make life more meaningful through their own efforts, and to obtain a certain degree of affirmation in the process. For most people, if they know they can do better, they are forced to give up their efforts and choose to live on benefits instead for a variety of reasons.
And we must not forget that behind technological progress there are a large number of workers who have lost their jobs, and they are under pressure to choose a new career direction, and it is difficult for them to return to their original jobs due to their age and low level of education. If the entire social apparatus does not create the conditions for them to change their identities and start anew, then these people may become a vulnerable group in the process of social development.
Artificial intelligence is at the service of humans
Tackling the unemployment caused by technological progress does not mean limiting the pace of technological innovation, but ensuring that it continues to develop and finding new ways for those affected workers. At the same time, it also reminds companies and researchers who are devoting themselves to this research that artificial intelligence should serve humans, not completely replace them.
If there is a real situation of mass unemployment in the future, then even if life can barely survive, a life without a sense of value is also a huge hidden danger for a healthy society. Just like the taxi drivers who are currently abandoned by driverless technology, after solving the problem of food and clothing, they should rediscover the meaning of making their lives worthwhile.
This is not only a question of their personal living conditions, but also a test of whether the entire social operating system is healthy. If even such a small number of special groups cannot be effectively helped and guided, then we will have no way to deal with the possibility of greater unemployment in the future.
In the long run, policymakers should deeply anticipate the possible consequences of technological progress and work together to promote technological innovation while ensuring that the interests of workers are not significantly harmed.
Coco, thank you all for reading!!!
epilogue
After reading this, I feel that we must take seriously the challenges and opportunities brought by artificial intelligence. While technological progress is unstoppable, we can't let it excuse people to lose their jobs. Everyone's efforts and value should not be overlooked. What do you think about this?
Dear friends, this is the end of this issue. I'm Coco, and I thank my friends for their support and companionship. Welcome to leave a comment!
