Robots and Artificial Intelligence

 We knew that robots with artificial intelligence was on the horizon back in 2000 and did not worry about it because it was decades away...  now, we are two decades later and the robot/AI movement has been with us for 2 years or more from a very serious standpoint...  scientists are now worried about it because they can now see see into the future and are anticipating the downside of the movement.


The problem with capitalism is that once companies can see and appreciate the amount of money that a new technology is going to provide to them, it is difficult and probably damn near impossible to get them to stop the progress.  This is the case with robots/AI and in 2025, millions of jobs will be replaced.  All of this accomplished to save money, increase net profits and increase EPS to shareholders which can and will inflate stock prices.


Even though the downside of robots/AI is negative, US businesses will move forward...  the biggest reason to move forward revolves around the savings of labor costs.  American workers drain the company's resources through wages and salaries, health insurance, holiday and vacation pay, and other benefits.


On the other hand, robots/AI don't ask for a wage or a salary, don't want health insurance, don't want holidiay pay, don't take vactions, and don't get sick or need time off for birth.  Robots/AI don't drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or take drugs.


Businesses do not need humans to build robots, they can use robots to build robots.  Robots have the ability to learn, adapt, and use that new learning to improve products.


What I am looking forward to is when governments realize that they can build robot/AI soldiers and no longer need humans in the military.


NO MORE DISABLED VETERANS...

  • Robots can report the news...  no more biased opinions
  • Robots can teach classes
  • Robots can drive cars, buses, and trains...  not sure if I want them to pilot aircrafts
  • Robots can build houses, apartments, and buildings
  • Robots can be used to police city streets
  • Robots can cook/serve food
  • Robots can perform secretarial duties
  • Robots can assemble/build products
  • Robots can clean houses and mow yards


My first thought is that...   it is ABOUT TIME ROBOTS ARRIVED IN OUR SOCIETY
