The Importance Of Robots

Robots can effect employment in a negative way,as said by the author Kelly “It may be hard to believe… 70 percent of today’s occupation will likewise be replaced by automation...even you will have your job taken away by machines”(Kelly Page.300), this quote comes to show the negative aspect of robots taking over the world in the near

In society, where it is already hard enough to obtain a job, the creation of AI will take away jobs from countless people. In total there will be a 47% loss of jobs and specifically in the

Unemployment has always taken America into its darkest ages; therefore, the United States needs to stay away from automation in order to prevent another employment downfall. By introducing intelligent machines into America, businesses will seek to acquire some of the technology. Since the machines don’t require a wage, businesses will increase in profit making them big barrels of money. Even if the machines are at high cost, it doesn’t mean businesses will forget about it, yet they know they will benefit on the long term by getting the machines. As a result, employees will start getting fired from their jobs, getting replaced by robots. This will ruin families and the peaceful society that has been present through the years.

Robots have been useful to humans since the past. They’re made to make human life easier. Since early times people have been dreaming of making robots and different people have made different kinds of robots. Robots has been useful in the past, they’re now useful in present-time, and they’re going to be useful in the future.

The term “Artificial Intelligence or AI” is no longer an obscure term to us. Being surrounded by smart and intelligent devices in our everyday life has made us aware about this technical jargon called “Artificial Intelligence or AI”, which is used to refer to machine intelligence in the field of Computer Science. As artificial intelligence continues to progress, machines are becoming smarter and more efficient than human beings. So, people are getting more concerned and apprehensive regarding their jobs after witnessing their jobs being replaced by robots and machines. Artificial Intelligence replacing human jobs frequently gets media attention and it has been made a huge deal even though it is not. AI gradually taking all our jobs and destroying the economic system is just an absurd and exaggerated claim made by few media outlets and self-proclaimed tech pundits. On the contrary, AI has potential to help us to get better at our jobs and create more job opportunities in the long run.

The debate over whether robots are helping or hurting the workplace is more heated than ever. Advances in technology are soaring thus making an increase in the use of robots in the workplace more and more commonplace. Some believe the use of robots in the workplace can never totally result in the loss of jobs, but due to the fact that robots have invaded the workplace environment, many people fear this indicates replacement of human jobs. Although advancement in technology of robotics and artificial intelligence may offer precision, productivity, efficiency and flexibility, the loss of human jobs will be devastating to the many people who depend on their jobs to make a living and provide for their families.

A lot of people associate themselves with robots. There are instances where people make robots for a living, or program a type of chip or circuit board that are installed in robots. However, the main reason why we know about robots is because of movies. A lot of movies depict robots as being mechanical creatures that somehow upsets the balance of earth and cause mass destruction, or is depicted as serving their masters. We often think about industrial robots. This is mainly because of industrial plants. We think of them as taking over our jobs. For instance, the movie Wall-e depicts an industrial robot picking garbage. Although humanoids aren’t the first robot thought of, no other type

Imagine how much better life could be with robotics helping us out with things such as disabilities. The main issue is that robots are getting a bad rep. People don’t realize that our future has a really bright side with robots. Especially robots helping us with with medical issues, but people just focus on the bad side. Our future with robots will not be as bad as you think it will.

The main key points of the side that support the advancement of job automation is that AI will improve the standard of living, lower the prices of products, and encourage people to get higher education. As job automation progresses, so does the standard of living. The largest sector of the job industry that will be affected by job automation is the service sector, manufacturing, and many other jobs that do not require higher education. Since robots will replace these lower paying jobs that do not require much skill, the quality of life will increase. One negative effect is that there are numerous people that hold these positions in the lower paying industry that will lose

A robotic teacher would not be able to help a crying child who missed their parents on the first day of kindergarten. A robotic teacher wouldn’t understand that some kids have learning disabilities that make them learn at a slower pace. Robots don’t have feelings. The origin of the robotic worker problem is the CEO of a company, who doesn’t like paying wages because he wants to keep the money for himself. In a country that is often referred to as ‘The greatest in the world,’ shouldn’t the job opportunities be the same? Shouldn’t the quality of life be the same?

Children enjoy having robots as helpers.  Sam, an eight year old boy, states, “ ‘I just love robots… I think it’s just fun…”  The article also states, “...computer scientists are developing.... highly programmed machines that can engage people and teach them simple skills…”  Not only do robots help with the learning, they are also able to interact with the students which in turn also creates affability.  If students and children like robots, they will be more willing to give them respect and their full

After reading the article “Better Than Human: Why Robots Will—And Must—Take Our Jobs” by Kevin Kelly, I was astonished of how well the author Kevin Kelly explains how robots taking our jobs is superior than humans working currently. Although, there may be some pros and con to this. The article that Kevin Kelly wrote is very persuasive. He discusses about how robots can perform better than humans in jobs, how in the future robots will take over all the jobs we have, and how there is one thing humans can do that robots cannot. Robots that have been constructed and are being invented this century, can perform far better than any human being.

Lately there have been more and more smart machines that have been taking over regular human tasks but as it grows the bigger picture is that robots will take over a lot of tasks now done by people. But, many people think that there are important ethical and moral issues that have to be dealt with this. Sooner or later there is going to be a robot that will interact in a humane manner but there are many questions to be asked like; how will they interact with us? Do we really want machines that are independent, self-directed, and has affect and emotion? I think we do, because they can provide many benefits. Obviously, as with all technologies, there are dangers as well. We need to ensure that people always

In a recent study(pdf), economists Daren Acemoglu of MIT and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University try to quantify how worried we should be about robots. They examine the impact of industrial automation on the US labor market from 1990 to 2007. They conclude that each additional robot reduced employment in a given commuting area by 3-6 workers, and lowered overall wages by 0.25-0.5%. (Kopf)

But with these great advantages there are always some disadvantages to weigh in to the equation. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch and robots are no exception to this rule. There are of course a few negative aspects to robot usage. Here are some of the questions that arise: are there such kinds of robots that should not be created? Will robots put capable workers out of jobs, if so is this a justifiable action? And of course the ignorant issue of, what if some day robots become like people, in terms of thinking and acting for them selves, how would we be able to distinguish robot from human?
