If the robots are coming for your jobs, it’s to help you, not replace you

If the robots are coming for your jobs, it's to help you, not replace you

Robots build a Chrysler vehicle at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan in 2014. (Paul Sancya / AP) Robots and artificial intelligence are winning our jobs and an apocalypse is upon us, or so the employment horror story goes.

Innovation and automation are nothing new, nor is the fear they inspire. What’s changed is the interests of economists and policymakers who once tried to reassure anxious workers but now, after presiding over decades of labor market decline, are delighted to have a scapegoat. So we hear that the abandonment of the American workforce has been the unavoidable result of […]

Let The Robots Take Over: How The Future Of AI Will Create More Jobs

Let The Robots Take Over: How The Future Of AI Will Create More Jobs

A Stanford University report states that artificial intelligence (AI) will significantly impact nearly all aspects of our lives, including transportation, home services, medicine, education, public safety, the job market, entertainment and more. With the continuous growth of AI, there will be more substantial developments in the years to come.

Artificial intelligence, as defined by computer scientist Nils J. Nilsson, involves activities devoted to making machines intelligent in a way that enables them "to function appropriately and with foresight in its environment." Some people still envision everything from sci-fi robots to e-tailer recommendations when AI comes up. However, the ever-accelerating AI […]

Krugman Discusses the Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Automation on Jobs 3/6/2011

In an op-ed column called Degrees and Dollars published in The New York Times Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman of Princeton wrote concerning the impact of artificial intelligence and automation on jobs:

"The fact is that since 1990 or so the U.S. job market has been characterized not by a general rise in the demand for skill, but by “hollowing out”: both high-wage and low-wage employment have grown rapidly, but medium-wage jobs — the kinds of jobs we count on to support a strong middle class — have lagged behind. And the hole in the middle has been getting […]

Will robots (still) take my job?

Will robots (still) take my job?

Many of us have read science-fiction novels and had our eyes glued to scenes of futuristic movies displaying visions of a dystopian landscape.

While these depictions are something of a nightmare, the arrival of ‘job-snatching robots’ is no longer a question of if , but rather when . It seems these works of fiction, created from pure imagination— or perhaps more worryingly, acute foresight— are rapidly becoming reality.Many industries […]
