- Robots are already changing jobs as an endless array of robots enter our everyday lives. From trucking to service work to high-end jobs like doctors and lawyers, this documentary explores how robotics and artificial intelligence are changing the workplace.
AJ+'s documentary series on automation explores how advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning and automated vehicles will affect jobs, cities and inequality. From trucking to radiology, new technology is already changing white collar and blue collar occupations, reshaping cities and concentrating wealth in the hands of the few. Robots are taking over the world as companies like Tesla, Amazon, Uber and Google are using robots to automate.

The truckers who say, "I can't see automated trucks doing this or that" are perhaps the same as the horsemen 120 years ago saying the same about automobiles. Within 10 years they were wiped out.
True, but oil and energy prices can be tricky...
Pipster Can you see AI trucks never crashing? Does the AI truck check the load straps? When the AI truck delivers my lumber from Home depot does the AI fork lift know where to place it on my job site? The horse / car analogy does not really work here.
I try and tell today's truckers (in did the job for 2 decades) who are making/clearing 6 figures today (these jobs do exist but are not found in the large mega corps) to get their capital and invest in INTRINSIC ASSETS. These AI truckers are NOT going to rolling out anytime soon (on an economy of mass scale) BUT with the investment in the infrastructure and continuing advances it will eventually come to reality. The collapse of the trucking industry will be catastrophic to the overall economy. This is your chance/time to accumulate capital...LABOR will NEVER equal the wealth generation of CAPITAL.
L K What, they have not shoved your dinner under the attic door yet?
Kevin Kennedy The AI driving industry is going to be a disaster. We have techys business guys pushing this program who don't really have the total picture of how this AI crap is going to effect society in general. Being dependent on circuit boards and hackable equipment is going to introduce problems that may not be fixable.
I welcome our machine overlords and would like to mention that I am very good at polishing metal armor.
Honestly when I think about it, A.I. would likely be better at governing humans then humans.. A.I. has no corruption, it does the job it was designed to do.. I know for a fact they have unlimited power that they are hiding, but I'm starting to feel it's for good reason.. if they gave the people of today unlimited power with absolutely no checks and balances in place(like cameras and ways of stopping people planning bad things) then that much power in the wrong hands could end up destroying everything.. I'm starting to feel the "illuminati" might actually have the best interest of humanity but are coming off as bad because they must make destruction in order to make us realize what humans having even small amounts of power can do.
Better than having Jew overlords.
Better than having muslim overlords.
@@greenthizzle4 Eventually, barring a disaster, we will have AI advanced enough to manage an entire city. It could perform all necessary functions; supply water, food, shelter, etc.. We will encounter new problems pertaining to genetics, ai, privacy, security, over population, etc. if we get to that point.
Christian Myers there will be disaster, but it will be planned and we won't lose any technology.. we already have deep underground bunkers the size of small cities.. everything will be preserved, everything will be fine.
People fail to realize that many of the jobs from a hundred years ago are gone. Not only that, its only been 2 decades since the rise of the internet and our society has changed greatly. Our society is changing very fast, and now humans need to be fast in learning and adapting.
"You now have 15 seconds to comply." By 2030, we will.

Adam Baker
Your little emp device wont work. U think the AI wont figure out how to counter that in miliseconds? And tech can be made immune to that in other way even humans know of.
@@deadpirateroberts9937 N Adams right. A concentrated emp, or other magnetic activation sequences or feedback or hack will still be able to thwart most defenses, even implemented shielding or non magnetic components in robotics and A.I. well into the 2040s if not beyond to the later half of the 21st century. PReprogramming and preinstalled defense may eventually mitigate damage done, but the danger of having A.I. able to process so quickly, deeply, and powerfully is exactly what decades of "sci fi/possible" writers and futurists have been warning against. ANd it all is being ignored for the sake of the tech crawl. Everything thats gone into computing, and especially vid games and mobile devices of the last 20+ years have aided in the long run goal of furthering A.I. sophistication in the same ways that were vehemontly warned against. I am carefully watching for when processors and tech can be made smaller than the current 3 nanometer size limitation, because once we pass that, or even 1 nm which is sooo small, and hit the super small level of Pico meter sized tech, then, the sophistication and possible true singularity will begin. We already have had basic quantum computing , just gotta try and keep the two apart and less sophisticated than the tech dweebs want to make them. Machines as machines, not artificial learning organisms. Everything below the highest Tera levels ( byutes/bits & hertz( and we should theorhetically be fine. Just gotta worry about people killing people, natural disasters, plagues, resources, energy, and aliens lol. :P

I'm not worried of AI replacing jobs, I'm worried about the government will do nothing when it happens.
So the government is now responsible for your life? Why do so many people like the be the victim of their circumstances? Everyone just hopes that the corporations and the governments will hand everything to them.
Leave us to starve that's what they will do. They've known this would come since the 1950s.
If they create robots and AI to take away people's jobs then yes they are responsible. How can people make a living if there are no jobs?
the government have a responsibility for the safety and welfare of the people they have decided to rule. people don't have the freedom we should be inherently born with to chose a piece of land for themselves and build a house as they please and hunt as they please. all this was taken away by the government. they took our freedom away and made us follow their rules so of course they have a responsibility.
I am skeptical that corp-owned govt will pull an American genocide/holocaust on the people once automation takes full swing. What are the FEMA camps and coffins for again?
Andrew Yang is the only presidential candidate who is focusing on this issue. Yang 2020! FORWARD!

Lmfaooo the robot suicide in the fountain got to me 😂😂😂
A robot nurse can probably work 20 hours each day, every day. It could monitor your vital signs more efficiently, and know if a medication should not be given based on your current status. One pill can have pages of information. There's thousands of pills available. No way a human can remember 900-page medication book.
this is exactly what i think aswell
the population gets older , we dont have enough humans to look after all the old people in 20 years ( even my moither will be 74 in 20 years ( i will be 41) many who arent that old now will be in a few decades
also , for a hospital it would be easy to buy a few hundred robo nurses
We are social beeings. We do want to be cared for by a real beeing with real emotions especially when we feel bad. Robot nurses would replace all human interaction making healthcare instutions a even colder place than they are today. Everything there would feel calculated and sterile. I don't like this idea
@@3198lol Maybe we can pay the former-nurses who were displaced by robots to socialize with patients, and nothing else?
@@deaththekid922 I am worried my cheap goverment-issued carebot will abuse me or steal my stuff
@@68greg19
why would a bot steal something ? if he just does what hes programmed to do , that wont be a problem and even if he has intelligence, you can still program him to not be a thief , kinda like how people get raised to be in a certain way, you just know stealing is wrong
My grandpa went to China in the 1960s. He said that they chose to dig roads by hand to create more jobs. Bulldozers sitting unused. When distribution of wealth is so bad that creating more wealth makes people poor you have a broken system. Robots should do all the mechanical repetitive work, people should get paid to do fun and human things.
That does not change the fact that automation will kill unlimited amounts of jobs

Basic income for everyone and find a hobby..
That would be an Upotipa
and with would I mean: COULD, and that's nice :)
That's the only way, really. The dangers of automation are if the owners of these robots claim all the benefits and leave the now unemployed workers with nothing.
@@ToastedCigar That started 50 years ago.
Andrew Yang is the only candidate talking about AI and job insecurity.
so we turn into socialism... great.. normal people won't have anymore a voice. we will be supressed.
Let's automate robotic design first
Google is working on that. They are going for white collar jobs too by learning what is intelligence with Deep Mind.
You need to design something before you can automate it.
I don't feel so bad about lawyers losing their jobs.
humm robotic lawyers?
There are a lot of altruistic lawyers out there who sacrifice a lot to help society
Automated attorneys lmao
Just remember that everyone needs a job.
Not too worry. They will pass laws to protect lawyer jobs.
Most politicians are lawyers.
Everybody interviewed in this video had absolutely NO idea what a Hard A.i. is capable of.
Guess you do... so, how bout a few examples?
Mind control, forcing humanity into submission.
@tim walsh actually, you do, because there will always be one last messenger you cant find which the A.I. CAN find.
They were hard for AI though. Then again they're part of the psychotic phenomenon called life. Just like you and me

Most of the jobs we do today didn't exist 100 years ago. Most of the jobs we do today won't exist in 100 years.
but robots replace the entire person
I see your comments all over the AI videos lol
10 years

Are robots also replace the guys who spit in your food? 😂
they'll spit oil instead

They can be programmed to spit, don't worry.
You can do that yourself lol
@@DadaNabhaniilanandaTheMonkDude Our Robos will block and replace cheap salary immigrants , so No immigrants will be here
As a company working in the connectivity industry, we are at the forefront of how these technologies are communicating with each other. One thing I think that isn't talked about enough is that it won't be the entire job that is done away with in one swoop, but aspects of that job. Take radiologists as mentioned in the video: Machine Learning might first act as an aid to diagnosis, and then it might even replace it, but the whole process of the patient going into the scan, the scan itself, and the results, is actually composed of many different tasks. So whilst the repetitive part of the job might become automated, it will free up time for radiologists to provide better service (perhaps quicker and more accurate), to more patients. The same is true of junior lawyers who are often tasked with reading up on case precedents to prepare an argument in favour of their clients: that too will be removed from their jobs, freeing up their skills for other tasks. So I think it's a erosion of job roles we will see, not the jobs themselves, which will adapt and evolve.
We need shared economy and not an economy where corporations are hoarding money.
Stand up now for your family and future .
Ashutosh Anshu Have you heard of Andrew Yang? He’s a presidential candidate who is talking about this exact idea! His main policy is a universal basic income of $1,000 a month for every american adult which will be paid for by corporations using automation and technology.
He goes into detail about his ideas in the Joe Rogan podcast here:
th-cam.com/video/cTsEzmFamZ8/w-d-xo.html
@@jug525 that sounds cool.
@@jug525 that's ok, until almost every job is automated... then, what are we suppose to do? survibe with 1,000$/month, while huge owners of corporations, who own machines and computers/AI horde all the money? honestly, future seems dystopian
"When does it stop?!"
It doesn't
When consumers don't have any money left to spend on things they want and/or need like with a low basic income.
That's why more people need to know about the Zeitgeist Movement... It potentially resolves that problem.
Rich and poor
@@arisoda The Zeitgeist Movement is part of the beast system.
Frank Beltran what is the beast system?
It’s just so amazing to see how eager these robot companies are to end human jobs.
During the week of January 18, global stock indices ended in a positive zone. The focus of investors was a vote of protest in the…e-fin.top
"Marta is our sauce spreading robot" why give it a cutesy name? I guess these things were inevitable when you live in a world economy based on an infinite growth paradigm.
Yup. They give no shits whatsoever because they all see big dollar signs in their eyes. "I'm getting mine, screw everyone else!!!"
Beobout6 It is more about saving money and lowering prices for the company and the consumer. But yes, what happens when all humans are redundant? I don’t think this will happen for at least 50 to 100 years. By the. We’ll make great pets!

It's funny to see these programmers and techies being flip and having fun with it. They will be replaced as well.
programmers are tools for the corps. when they dont need them anymore they will be also purged and canned
Point is they'll be the last ones to be replaced
Simply Balling, I'm doubtful of that. The definition of AI is software that writes software and I don't see that happening "last". Instead I see people still showing up for other jobs and change happening quicker than they understand.
They are mold and scum for the Masters that they work for.
@@viivcreations9161 Just like Hitler liquidated the Brown Shirts after they finished the dirty work.

My question is, will the robot be able to spit on food when the customer is rude ?
If robots and AI do all the jobs then who will pay the taxes required to pay for the universal credit system?
VAT tax, everything a companys sell will have a tax, that tax will be put in the UBI pool, Plus other things, check out Andrew Yang who's Running for president, just youtube him, he has some Answers

It would open up a huge amount of possibilities for advancing our society when we don’t have hundreds of millions of workers doing things that could be done by machine. The industry would evolve and so would jobs.
Hi. Thanks all of You at AJ + Docs. Whoa. I didn't realize until watching all 3 videos how far along AI is. Daunting challenge! Thank You so much for putting these docs out there. My eyes are open. Great that you also shared those folks who are trying to head off the displacement that will occur with preparatory training. Without a doubt, we must find a silver lining. This is "HUGE".
This is why the entitlement generation might be on to something. In essence, these self-driving cars should be driving people around for free. The more automation there is, the less human labor is required. And therefore it should be cheaper and cheaper. It doesn't need to be a vehicle for profitability. Unfortunately, our system is setup so that it usually is.
"Cheaper and cheaper" that's how the market works.
I have worked on a farm with 15 other people for hundreds of hours at $10/hour just to grow corn that costs a few dollars, if it was automated corn would cost a few cents, when your average meal costs $0.50 people will not give a shit whether or not they have a job.
Well true, if food becomes that cheap there is nothing to worry about there. But hopefully the automation destruction of jobs trickles down to the cost of rent, transport, electric and internet. Because if people lose their jobs and can't afford those other things, we might as well move back into the stone ages.
Plenty of people will care- some people want a job or career.
Profitability is not unfortunate but a key regulator in competition and collaboration that rewards versatility, endurance,success and punishes the inept.and failure. Without this natural whip that exists in nature -we will grow out of control like cancer. Bloated entitled cells become parasitic and do not value what is gotten for nothing- there's a reason muscle and digestive cells unlike the brain are not in charge. Sure cheaper without human labor but then no job equals no money at all. Basic income will not be a good regulator as inflation and deflation occur-and too much govt. is dangerous and a nightmare of mismanagement and corruption. Our freedom and representation in govt. is based on us having jobs and like school it's also a daycare. Idle hands and the devils work and all.
it's not robots threatening our way of life, it's our inability to think outside the box that's threatening it!
I mean come on!! When suddenly was it just an accepted thing that humans want to work 5 days a week for 80% of their lives and then die?
Perhaps better to look at ways of re designing society so more of us can spend time pursuing more meaningful things. There's a very big Universe out there!!
Don't go to the universe yet, I don't think most of us even know what we are.

Johnny Hsieh I will give you repairbots but unless the robot will design and upgrade themselves, there will always be a need for techies
There will be no need for jobs later. Humans will get enough time to live life .
yep just like in the matrix, your body serves as the battery for the supercomputer that governs everything, and you live your life (or consciousness) in virtual reality. But how can you say we are not living like this now? Is what we perceive as reality not a virtual simulation? xD

I paid substantial money to go to school‼️
As sad as it sounds, the idea of low skill/training middle class jobs are dying, and *everyone* should accept that, There's no stopping progress.
Just let all the people wither away...
Yep, Capitalism won't work anymore.
@@JasonAstraea , Nothing will work anymore.. A Robot World has no use for People, or their money.. Solar Panels will become the only Gold left..
We can already see automation replacing people in fast food restaurants that have kiosks take orders and payments. The last time I ate breakfast at a McDonalds the only contact I had with a person was when they brought the food to my table - the order and payment were all handled by a Kiosk. They knew where to take the food because I put a plastic number on my table, but even the job of bringing the food to me could have been done by a robot.
The internet is already displacing salesmen by letting the consumer purchase directly from an Amazon, etc. Even white collar jobs are not necessarily safe in the long run.
This is going to have to be addressed eventually because it creates two huge social problems: (1) People need an income to survive. A guaranteed income could help take care of this for those who don't have jobs but it doesn't take care of the second problem, (2) humans need to feel useful and valuable and working helps fill that role.
2:25 "Drop your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply"
I think of this as self limiting, because they will eventually run out of consumers for their products.
The super-rich will still have purchasing power for consumption. That's the point. From there they will de-populate the planet so as to conserve the resources and ecology of the planet for the genetically enhanced super-rich to enjoy.
@SENILE MEESEEKS A new world order, literally.
"In the USA 73 million jobs will be replaced by robots and/or AI by the year 2030". I believe that's a very conservative number. By that time there isn't a job left that you can't replace with AI or a robot. The only limit will be what society accepts or doesn't accept. And we're already accepting a LOT of automation really fast.
For example, every supermarket can already function without a single person working there. Customers scan and pay for their groceries by themselves, all the time being watched by dozens of cameras to prevent cheating. This has already been tested successfully in small stores around the globe, however most customers of regular supermarkets have indicated that they still prefer a human being at the cash register. Once that opinion sways (and it will sway very fast), all supermarket personnel gets the boot.
I remember a time when the general opinion about this new thing: 'Shopping on the internet' was very negative. People couldn't believe that it would be viable and they would certainly never use such a risky, impersonal way of purchasing items. That wasn't even 10 years ago, and look at us now. The amount of brick and mortar stores that has gone out of business because of this is huge.
You think you're not in danger because you're in a service job, not doing easy to replace labor? Think again, because AI will become cheaper than a robot. Automation has already replaced many people in the service industry. Bank tellers, phone answering services, customer services, accountants, and other counter and desk jobs. And those aren't even the smartest AI. If you add much higher intelligence and combine that with the latest in robotics, then suddenly jobs like those of dentists, pilots, air traffic controllers, doctors, surgeons, lawyers, judges, trained guards for dangerous substances, etc. etc. are all in danger.
"Doctor, we really appreciate you studying for a decade, but we crammed all that information in our AI in a single afternoon and now it's able to detect diseases and melanomas much faster and much more accurate than you, and the robots that you used to handle as an instrument are now autonomous and more precise and faster than you are.. sooo.... G'bye!"
Strangely I'm not against automation. We all deserve a happy life without too much work and plenty of time to enjoy our families and the world in general. However, that's a Utopia that doesn't exist yet, and even if we will steer our societies in that direction, it will take much much longer to arrive than robots and AI. The problem is the transition period in which hundreds of millions of people will lose their jobs, their homes, their health and eventually their lives.
I agree 100% with everything you have written- thoughtful and correct.
So, do you honestly think there will be a point of time in the US where nobody has jobs and everybody is starving? Because this will most likely still be the case for a long period of time.
Amen to that, its the comment I would have written myself ;)
We are all into this now... Maybe the future will be exciting...
TheBushdoctor68 they said the same thing 50 years ago, where are all the robots they promised? This will never happen, it’s a dream.
2030's too near-term. There will be some fraction of current jobs replaced by automation, and since human desires are infinite, there will be other things for them to get paid doing. They'll have to learn some new skills.

Very few if any humans will go into space. It will be all done by automated space probes and the like.

The human race may settle and populate Antarctica long before they get to Mars........

It is very possible.
Greate idea. So it will work for the people.
No, unfortunately. Any automation is subject to hacking. Very much realized this election. 68% error rate in the voting machines.
After robots and AI take over regular jobs, more people should work on optimizing the earth’s resources and space technology. This world is not forever.
Well, losing job is nothing compared to what other things we will also lose. Like our minds.
Hi I'm trucker brown this was fun to do they do great work
Trucker Brown i loved seeing your perspective on the subject of automation entering the workforce. I been following this for a few years its not looking good for the proletarian
As a former Driver my hats off to you for realizing just where the industry is at today. 99% of the people in the industry are in denial.
You made some great points Trucker Brown. It's worrying that in the future so many people will not have the job opportunities that are available to them now. We can't all be AI scientists can we? I know I couldn't.
Yo man, I think lowboy trucking will be one of the last refuges in the industry, somebody has to load and chain down the equipment, It might be field/yard guys doing that but Im not to sure. Now that being said everybody with a CDL will be gunning for it so it will stagnate the wages of whats left for trucking.
A heads up. They will manage how to drive in bad weather, on icy roads and do difficult backings.
Prepare for a new world or expect to suffer badly.
believe it or not. there is a paradise and there is a hell. not in the afterlife, but this one.
A purgatory and a hell. No heaven unless we learn peace and throw off automation.
Soul Frequency.
Paradise and Hell continue in the Afterlife too.
This realm is just a gross version of more subtle realities.
There is a heaven and a hell. Because of sin we all deserve to go to hell. Sin is breaking Gods law such as lying, stealing, dishonoring parents and commitinf adultery and sexual immorality. There is no good deed that we can do to earn our way to heaven. God made a way for us to go to heaven. He sent His Son Jesus Christ who was born of the virgin Mary. He took our sins upon Himself, was crucified on the cross, died, was put in the grave and rose from the dead on the third day. If we repent and believe in Jesus Christ, He will forgive us. He died on the cross because when you sin you deserve to die. He paid for our sins. When you receive Jesus Christ by believing in His Name , we have the power to become children of God.

Engineering jobs are being taken by AI! No job is safe!
@@mixofart5458 You're right about engineering. Tasks are processed more and more with machines that work 100% of the day without breaks and do it faster without slowing down or errors. So, it's best to be the boss. Go as far as you can. Avoid positions that will become immediately extinct. And in my opinion, the biggest thing is too never be too tired to go back to school to transition into a new career.
Great video!!!
If politicians are preparing for it....LMFAO.
Thank God I went into the IT field, I went to many companies programming and installing software on many machines. It's crazy. Imagine 30 years from now.
RETARDICAN which IT job you've took, if not a secret?
“When does it stop? “. It stops when they figure out that everybody that used to have a job and can’t buy stuff anymore. Then all that money that Call those companies thought they were going to save on labor goes out the window because they are now out of business. That’s a lesson that whirlpool, GM and other large companies too big to fail, have not figured out.
Losing your job to a machine would be a dream come true if it wasn't for the need to work to have money
i love how its only when white collars are threatened that people start caring. We need to as a people have a soul search. Do we live to make profit? Or do we live for something more complex? Is running an economy strictly for profit the correct way? We need to start thinking about quality of life. Automation can be two things. The great liberation of humans, and the reduction in their labors... or the consolidation of power and wealth further into fewer and fewer hands. We need to fight back before its too late. Its getting close to that hour
The main focuses was trucking and thats blue collar.
But if you dare mention getting rid of Capitalism you'll be burned at the stake. The left (Socislists) have been trying to get this point across for two centuries now... But anyone who dare criticize the Capitalist holy cow is treated like a mentally inferior sub-human who hasn't read 'basic economics.'
There will be revolution before the oligarchs give up their reign. It's inevitable I'm afraid.

More and more people just have to start living differently and standing up together, not to swallow the shit pies and slavery of capitalism and money. Evanism is the way out of that system. It can work when enough people have had enough. th-cam.com/video/p_EuIarrqFE/w-d-xo.html
But do you really love it actually?
You better start teaching programming, automation, electronics etc to your kids because this is are jobs of the future. Still, this machines will need to be repaired and serviced. However, I believe that also the jobs I mentioned will be automated as well so we screwed, and I don't believe governments will implement universal basic incomes, for stay home and do nothing? the disparage between rich and poor will increase, two different societies will be created the hyper-rich who will leave in a world automated and the rest the poor who will live doing handy jobs for other poor as they will not be able to afford service provided by robots. The two will be divided by wall the poor will be under strict martial law in order be controlled to minimize rebellions. Dystopia...
But not everybody has an aptitude for tech, and what about people with disabilities? Already they struggle to get employed.
True I hope some sort of values will be kept in order to enable governments to still take care of the one it needs. But I doubt so no one is willing to give something in exchange for nothing.
when A.I. completely takes over, only jobs for humans would be entertainment for the elites.
like sexual slaves and other performing art.
Eeek I could see them doing that!
What do you mean *Fighting back?* You can't fight progress..
Yang was watching this video for sure
omg i cant wait for this
You can't stop progress.
Flash803 SQBZ correct you can't trying to do that is like trying to stop the air
Realist Thought yes, *correct* if you don't keep up then so sad for you because we live in 2018 i bet by the year 2050 people that don't have any business/company/career those are probably going to work 4 ever or be homeless is sad but true.
Flash803 SQBZ The only real option after full automation is Communism. Wouldn't look anything like the USSR state socialism, but it would be a lot more like what Marx defined as Communism. I feel more and more like Marx might have actually had a point.
He didn't. He never spoke about complete automation. The free market works. Take that x number of people lose their jobs. It will force them to cooperate to keep living. Which would make them bakers, plumbers, etc. all over again, which leads to new jobs, which contradicts people's fears. For the rest of the people, they'll see a bump in their lifestyle. That's how it has worked for 100+ years since automation.
The free market creates jobs. You don't have to compete with a robot. You just do your job and cooperate with other people who are at the same level. You don't even need to worry about learning new sh*t, as the robots will teach you basically for penies.
In fact, you'll have a better chance and a better lifestyle, because you'd be able to leverage all this new technology which will be about everywhere and for cheap $$$. All those robots you saw in the video will cost you about as much as your phone today. Don't tell me you couldn't use them to build things for you and for others.
The free market is a better approximation of communism than communism. If you want to depend on oligarchs and monopolies be my guest.
We could have replaced bakers and in fact we have! But they're still around. You can buy bread in plastic cellophane at walmart, but you can also buy it at you local baker.
It's close to impossible to predict jobs creation/destruction. Because if we could, we would've already done it.
I really mean it in a friendly way. Don't be commies guys. For your own sake. Learn how to use the market instead and do sh*t for it and it will reward you.
I hope this helps.
Progress doesn’t mean to be jobless. Progress should be out there, between stars
Historically a large unemployed population (usually urban) has been a pretty good incentive to go to war. Look at ancient Rome, the Hessians, and WW2 for example. But will war then be completely automated? Or will it have more of a multiplying effect on traditional manpower?
Greengeist05 if automation happens, it will back fire on a war scale
Cause people will either hack the machines or build some of there own, and we will have a global civil war of both machine and humans fighting side by side on both fronts
Hey now! That's decades away...
I was thinking about that too. This is ripe and ready for the unemployed to be suited for a draft.
Ai's will be fighting Ai's- Full and partial automation with smart and brute force fire power- new levels of surgical precision
The 1% will make sure you are fighting for your daily rations. lol
"Though loyal and pure, the machines earned no respect from their masters"
When you say you dont want people to drive your car or plane, just remember, the computer in 737 max has killed people in a situation where a human could have saved the lives
What caused the 737 max disaster was skimping on training of pilots and not being able to shut off MCAS when it went wrong. The pilots were only vaguely aware of the properties of the new software and only had a quick overview and some simulation runs prior to taking the planes up. A similar set of accidents happened in the very early days of fly-by-wire systems on some early Airbus products back in the 1980's/90's. I recall a test that was carried out with early cars and horse-drawn drays in the 1910's. The common misconception was that cars were more dangerous and hard to brake in an emergency. The test proved the opposite.
It's sounds so foreign and defines life as we know it but I think eventually we will just live in a cashless society where nobody works. Automation won't just stop with blue collar work, that is only the beginning. There will come a point where robots will run companies, perform surgeries, program other machines, etc.
Paul yes get ready to become some AIs pet! Lol
If nobody works how are companies gonna make money ? Consumers don’t spend money if they don’t have a income

sounds like a fever dream of dystopia.
As someone who inspire to become a pilot. My heart sank when that guy said he doesn't want humans to fly a plane.... What am I gonna do now :(
Akira Takahashi you will have to get a good v.r setup then you can vertualy fly eney plane you want.
Akira Takahashi you could still fly recreationally, with automation the cost of planes will go down drastically so it could be a hobby just like motorcycles are a hobby today. Plus what else are you going to do with all your jobless universal income life.
Flip burgers... ops that will be automated too 😒
Nobody will ever want to fly a plane that doesn't have a pilot on board even if that pilot is just there in case something happens. They made surveys regardless how safe and clever Ai gets nobody will want to fly a plane without a pilot. A computer can freeze overheat have an electrical error be hacked etc. At the end people want and need a pilot who's putting his life on the line in the plane with them. I also saw a report around 1 week ago about how much the industry is lacking pilots because of the cost of becoming one. Best of luck and follow your dreams bro.
Human's already do not fly the plane :) Computers already do.

Will those robots fix the govt?
Fix it? It's not broken. It's doing a great job protecting the 1% and ensuring their survival when the effects of climate change become much more pronounced. While we're all starving and murdering each other the rich will be living life in a gated community protected by drones and serviced by robots.
You genius! I was sat here sweating buckets thinking about how and/or when I would be displaced from my job by a robot, and you gave me an idea on which professional track to transition to for job security. . .so long as I commit to keeping my eyes down, never question my leaders, buying into the propaganda, and saying "yessir" a lot. . . Get a job in government! They'll never let robots take over a sector where there is no want or intent to create efficiencies, stamp out corruption, be above the law, make all the rules, and tell everyone else how to live.
No, the robots will free up your time so that you can fix the government.
Have you ever been homeless Fuckizoid? I have and I can tell you you're never allowed to rest. You move from place to place and sit in areas that are dedicated to what others want to do. You sit in a shelter's TV room and you may be able to slip away to the congregation/lunch area, but you don't have space enough to get on your phone and make serious plans.
That's the worst case scenario. Let's take living in poverty. When you live in poverty you don't have access to the Internet, you don't have a choice on what kind of community you're in, your transportation options are limited and suspect to breaking down, if there is a pest problem you cannot focus as well without those pests interfering with your daily life, and lastly solidarity with your community is the only real strength you have (which is nearly impossible to cultivate when people are just trying to survive).
There's a reason why leaders of social movements are wealthy individuals with a following in their own right. MLK was a preacher, Ghandi a wealthy doctor, Che Guevara a physician, etc.
They will become the government. And I don't mean that in a Sky-Net kind of way.
Basic principle of economy: supply and demand. When most jobs become automated, owners will be forced to lower prices, because they won't have the clientele base capable to buying their product/service. You will need less money to live like middle class and min-wage jobs could be enough to keep people in decent lifestyle. It will get to a point when you won't have to work at all to survive: basic needs (housing/food/transportation) will be provided by government to keep population alive and off the road of revolution/rebellion. People, who can, will be working for money to spend on luxury items and entertainment.
The robot have been here for 20 years. Auto telliers, stores that you self shop. the next step is services and manufacturing.
the whole point of tech is to leave men free to do as they please, as soon as leaders remember that, and rebuild the current system to fit, there will be no problem, "jobs" will be no more
EspHack No, we humans need jobs. We need a reason to get up. We can't just go on holidays everyday.

It probably feels good to be an electrical and software engineer.
Those will be replaced eventually too, AI's are already starting to learn how to code
farmer feels better
especially robotics and AI
Robots don't buy cars youtube
Engineers will be among the ones being replaced. AI is already able to create systems far more intricate and complex than the ones designed by human engineers. In a world driven by ''profits'', humans will always be seen as an expense no matter how you twist it.
I think driverless cars will be great, imagine a world where you dont own a car but just borrow it for pick up and drop off. You could get picked up and dropped off at work and while your working the car goes and gets someone else! This would eliminate most parking which cities could transform into bikeways, walkways, parks and other green spaces!
Giess what..we have that in Europe(- the automation part of it).It is called public transportation system.I get a bus and I'm on work 12 minutes later.
@@louies6914 I have used public transportation too. However most towns villages and rural areas do not have buses and if you want to do alot of things unfortunately having access to a car is an only option. Especially those who have a winter season.
I will still own my car even if it drives itself
Sounds cool. There’s going to be new career paths when these robots replace us in the old ones. People should just stop fearmongering
AI will not stop evolving, after some time there will be no path to be found. Hello from the future! 😉

nice video!
Those who fear the robotic revolution are scared for the wrong reason. If all this work that has to be done by human labor vanishes, mankind could even be free from work itself forever. Like having a perfect personal robotic buttler for everyone who tends to every need.
The ones who will lose their jobs (which seems to be nearly everyone at some point) will only suffer from the same flaws in our economic systems that the poor have always suffered from, which is allowing few to control most of all our resources.
So, all in all, it is the unequal distribution of wealth that is the problem, not the robots.
Unequal distribution isn't a problem. Poverty is. Capitalism makes everyone richer. If some people get more, I'm fine with that, because it's moral and works.
No capitalism doesn't make everyone richer, it only makes the select few that already are richer.
EXACTLY
@joseph adel
Finally, someone rational.
You have left out resource depletion. Let me take a few steps farther in your line of deductive reasoning. Once (practically) unlimited production is achieved, mass de-population will be enacted by the elites against the 'useless eaters' so as to conserve the resources and ecology of the planet for the genetically enhanced super-rich to enjoy. 99%+ of humanity will be done away with.
Instead of getting rid of the "Blue Color" worker, why not replace "White Color" CEO's and upper management with supercomputers with A.I., so better work conditions, happier employees, and higher (Over All) profits can be had, with 0% corruption and little to no bad business decisions? Also use A.I. to monitor ALL public officials and Government Employees while on the clock, to end corruption and poor money management?
That's the thing, we're _all_ going, even in near-future scenarios with AI that's 'just' fancy algorithms and not in any way conscious.
Human-level intelligence and biological capacity are starting to be out-classed even now.
As technology progresses, that comparison won't even be close, and the scale of difference will continue to accelerate.
We'll be creating a kind of life that will be vastly more intelligent and capable than us. Concern about jobs and income as we're familiar with it is just the tip of the iceberg.
What makes you think AI or AGI is going to be so incorruptible? Remember; those same people you call corrupt did the base programming for AGI; gave it it's core. It's "sole". I don't think AI or AGI will be programmed from the kernel to give to shts about you....
robots don't buy cars youtube song.
@@Dcahlert I thought so too Daniel, but study AGI and "Singularity". AGI entities should have all the attributes necessary to keep the circular flow of money, ie wealth generation for the elite, alive and well indefinitely. Perhaps sometime in the far future AGI will own cars again, but your thinking is out-dated. We're trending away from ownership. Especially with autonomy, personal ownership will be #1 impossible for most, but #2 unnecessary, as the "full-time" use/convenience will mandate a "shared" principle with these high cost items. It's all been pre-planned......
@@kyneticist ....You mentioned that human intelligence is starting to be outclassed. That's easy! Here's just one way that has worked beautifully...Bombard the public with thousands of biased news stories daily. Use positive spins on what you want them to believe. Use negative spins on what you don't want them to believe. Also, drastically minimize reporting on what you don't want them to know. Even do virtually zero reporting on certain huge realities. It's so simple to do. That way, even book smart college grads will be efficient workers who don't know what's reality....just like robots!
People like me actually earn the right to constantly talk about reality and even know to see a huge amazing consistency among dummied down adults when we purposely talk to thousands of people face to face. Over 95% of them actually get afraid! They just stand there! They truly don't want to hear more! A higher percentage are way more brave here. But psychology explains why. They know I am no nutcase by my appearance, manner of speaking, analogies used, quick rebuttals in only seconds (when I dummy down and talk about topics at their level of understanding)and more. I do this to prove they will talk if I talk like most others. It's so easy to dummy up. The public loves people most like them. What a crazy way to think this will teach them anything. It's just another example of how simple minded people illogically rationalize almost all information because they never learned how to learn critical thinking skills. They truly don't want to accept that their entire adult learned beliefs they think they learned accurately enough, are so far from being right. Naturally, I don't get to meet business executives or business savvy business owners as often. But I've still talked with hundreds of them with real knowledge of the business worlds tricks. They too get quiet, but in an obvious different easily observed way. Of course they do! They do not want to agree because it's admitting guilt. They know this because they hear me talk about tricks regarding the business they are in, that they know so few consumers know about. This makes them way more income simply by using all their deception tricks. But they don't act fearfully alarmed like the working class people. The devil is always in the details. Most people's minds are so dumbed down and it's so obvious by how flawed their basic problem solving skills are. That's really what they are demonstrating when talking about most anything.
You're wrong to assume this is something new due to advanced technology. But that's a well kept secret too.
It's so sad that everyone knows everyone else keeps secrets. Even good friends, siblings and parents keep secrets about those skeletons in their closet. But somehow, with huge profits and profit margins at stake, they think they are being taught enough reality about strangers who want their money. What am I getting paid here? Zippo. Always learn to study business at the street level, not published crap full of deception. But here's the catch....it takes years and years to learn business that is impossible to claim isn't happening. It's found in bits and pieces everywhere and its totally real and right in front of people everywhere in businesses. But so few people know how to learn to learn to begin start studying business this way. I doubt this has ever been (so easily done) in any business related class either. This would drastically affect the profits businesses make. Notice that colleges are business for profit. Few commenting so naively, "stop complaining about the business leaders or economy and go get an education to get a higher paying skilled job"...are also speaking really about their own little world. Whoopie they have a skilled job. These simpletons with small brains think they know so much about reality because they have a skilled job. Funny how they stand in front of me with the deer in headlights expression when I talk about details. They don't even want to ask a question! Yes, they truly are so similar to robots already.
When ever I watch these stories I think about phone operators, bookkeepers and the hundreds of other jobs that go away as we progress.
There was a quote attributed to Henry Ford where he was warning about the coming shortage of chauffeurs and the need to train people for the coming millions of jobs in that field. Later the car technology was made easier to use and breakdowns became less frequent and garages more common so that the technology was used by most ordinary people, in modern parlance it had become user friendly. This might happen with future AI if it is cheap and accessable to most ordinary people. The means of production might create future cottage industries making stuff we can only now imagine.
I enjoy the human interaction between myself, customer and store employee etc. An electronic voice or beep is really going to be an educational and fun experience!?

Well, this is a very interesting future with automation that will change humanity, so you have to accept of what's coming..
Not in the means that we will all live in poverty, but likely that we have free services and less ownership..
Morph Verse Yes it’s going to put more people on the streets. What else could be the result of this?
Kim Jong Il I sincerely hope you’re right. My instincts tell me that the wealthiest people won’t give a damn that large numbers of people will be economically displaced and we’ll have a permanent underclass.....
RuleofFive They won't be able to exist. There won't be anying buying power to support market capitalism. Their capital will be the only thing that matters after automation. As they'll be the ones with the means to produce robots.
Universal Basic Icome fixes the job displacement, at least mostly
Not really. At least not the way governments are likely to implement it. It is mostly just a prop for a failing socioeconomic system. I think by mid century you are going to start seeing countries stop using monetary economics altogether.
Steve Bottrell the failing of all economies is perhaps the single greatest reason to implement Universal Basic Income, then lol
We talk about universal basic income as if inflation doesn't exist.
nonreligionist I think you're missing the point: when everything is automated there is no need for labor at all. People will not function in the labor market, so what use will a UBI serve if no one has an income? At best UBI is a stepping stone to transition to whatever comes next without a complete social collapse.
s3tione agreed, but what does the I in UBI mean? It's certainly not perfect, I'm sure you'd be hard pressed to find someone who thinks it is. But I think it's really inevitable that societies across the globe will switch to one version or another of UBI out of pure necessity (i.e. automated labor > manual labor)
It’s aim isn’t to kill jobs, it’s in the name of efficiency and progress. There’s no point in having the industrial revolution and then just saying, “Well, that’s it. We’ll just stay at this level until we die, no more progress.” How boring that would be
No matter how much people complain it will happen. We as people will
Have to learn the a job does not define who you are. We will also need to get rid of the 40 hour week.
It's a short-term problem, since the economy won't support robots and AI. Why you ask? Just look at the price inflation on smart phones and internet access. The large corporations we know today, were built on high volume sales. Everyone bought Coke and Pepsi and candy bars and TVs and soap, etc. As more and more products and services become out of the financial reach of the masses, these corporations will shrink, and some fail. I know it's hard to imagine right now, but things will change very quickly. The media, Wall Streeters and politicians are living in a bubble. Already one-third of the U.S. population (100 million people) are not in the workforce. Most baby-boomers are retiring and most millennials are out of work or under-employed. The future is dystopia. In fact, in thousands of small towns across America it has already begun. The infrastructure is beyond the point of repair. Sorry for the downer, but it is the way is.
Sadly, you are correct.
Interesting.
See the problem Is that we are looking at future with today's vision.

Owning a job becomes a privilege. I fear that this will not be absorbed socially. I see slums and gated areas. The view that have a job are the middle class living at the work place, sending some satoshi bitcoin to the family.
Anton Nym owning a job has always been a privilage, keeping it and maintaining it even more so. Monopolies have already started absorbing markets, and soon it will cost them next to nothing to do it, being that they'll barely have any workers.

Robotics could free humans up to exercise our creativity and get some enjoyment from life but it would mean changing our entire system or a few will enjoy massive wealth leaving the rest to starve. We would also need to learn to identify with something other than the work we do. Who we are, maybe or what we create?
Becky Alexander and what do you think will happen hmmmm
What you're talking about is Communism buddy. Read Marx's definition of it and ignore the propaganda from people like Denis Prager and Steven Crowder.

SFRJ IS MY CITY I read Marx as a child and again as an adult. Some of it makes sense as an economic system, other parts are flawed. My point is if the work is taken over by robotics we need a new narrative as well as a means of support for those who would otherwise do the work which has nothing to do with Marx and which wasn't even conceivable in his time.
There was a time when businesses could afford to take care of their employees. Is there less money now or just more greed?
There is more money and same amount of greed. The difference is that businesses HAD to take care of their employees in the past. Now, and in the future, businesses have the option of ditching employees altogether and making even more money by doing so.
The only way to fight back is by not patronizing the venues that are populated by robot workers. I do my part by paying my credit card bills by phone with the assistance of human representatives. When they explain that I can pay my bills online or without an assistant, I tell them that I choose to use their help in order to save their jobs. All of you young people out there need to do the same.....
Hold all CEOs and executives responsible now!

So we're going to stifle technological progress simply because some of you are too short-sighted to realize that society will be going through a drastic change this century? No thanks.
On the issue of full automation, It seems to be a human reflex to doom and gloom this issue. I can think of two solutions to this conundrum.
1) we can keep the wealthy elite structure we have and euthanize the unneeded population . This will balance the books until the last worker is euthanized. At this point there will also cease to be any consumption by that I mean anyone to buy stuff, therefore no need for manufacturing and no need for automation. Of course the solution to those who naively want to further automate will be to build consumer robots that would generate consumption. An unwritten rule about capitalism is many must be poor so one can be rich. This reality makes option one not work and leads to solution 2.
2) The second solution is to eliminate the elite part of the population and proceed with automation. All these boring, dangerous jobs could be, as we are doing now, eliminated. We will need to set up a super, super computer to manage our world. With the elite eliminated, individual people could pursue whatever life style they want. The competitive nature of humanity would lead people to reject such a boring lifestyle - I would think.
The world we have now, with the manufacturing in Asia and the consumption in America, is a test run for a highly automated world and will likely implode our capitalist world. It is obvious only a few will have a good and rewarding life as it now stands. This is a formula for social unrest and crime at unheard levels since monarchies were abolished in Europe.
