Dear @julianhorack and @everyone else reading :)
I absolutely love topics related to AI, robots and job market :) So let me say it: GREAT CHOICE OF TOPIC buddy
According to the University of Oxford, almost 50% of all jobs will be replaced by robots in years to come
I've been thinking a lot about it and my impression is, that the fact that entire world is slowly entering recession and economies are slowing down ... it will surely also slow down this process of replacing all those jobs with robots and AI.
Plus Goverments and regulators will most likely step in (feeling increasing pressure from unhappy population).
Will you enjoy more leisure time or will you be left without a means to make money to survive?
Leisure time? Ehm. I think people need purpose for living and leisure time will end up with tons of suicides (left and right). Wouldn't you agree?
So even ideas similar to Universal Basic Income (UBI) wouldn't resolve problem of huge unemployment.
Also it is important to remember that all those changes will require huge investments. Even replacing track drivers with automated lorries .... that would mean that we need millions of those lorries. We don't even have infrastructure that would allow to satisfy market within next years to come.
And if we will indeed enter recession, then banks will stop giving loans until economy will recover. And that will pretty much stop most of those advancements. Without credit - there will be very little progress. Wouldn't you agree?
Personally I'm more afraid of social impact of all AI, that is creepying into our lifes. AI can soon be our best friend. After all most people seem to be very lonely and AI will be able to recognize our moods and will know us so well .... that it may become our best friend :)
And these AI workers are popping up in some unexpected places as the years unfold. No job is safe anymore.
I almost agree :) In my opinion those jobs that require quality human customer service are the safest. And those that require creativity. But yeah, most jobs can be "threatened".
ps.
I would love to upvote it but I drained my voting power (below 70%) so I need to recharge it first. Till next time :)

Hey when I read that some day robos would clean my house I feel happy and wait for the day but when I hear robots would take my job.
I feel scared and worried.
Can't we have a balance and use them in moderation or is it a case of
One mans meat or rather
One robots meat is one mans poison

Interesting subject friend.
I agree with you completely, for this to happen you should cover all the needs of each person in every way to be successful.
Artificial intelligence is to facilitate life in some way, not to replace the human being.
In any case, this requires great investment in economic matters and the circumstances of the world do not allow it, the outlook is not very encouraging.
It would be interesting rather, the use of artificial intelligence but in the area of health.

I have read and published on IA. My position continue to show fear because there are so many uncertainties around the issue. Certainly, there is danger of disappearing some jobs but, after thinking about cold start to think about who will give impetus to the robots for example. The intervention of human being will have to be there all the time isn't it? This means that will be closed any doors to open other.
I do not want to contradict myself with the previous one but i thought i would be able to convince me. Arguments that equal share your idea "jobs that require a service quality human resources are the most secure."

Greetings,
It is really is a challenge, to think about what the future might bring especially in technology.
Just like Smart Cars, they are putting in the street, it does remove the services of some drivers, but I believe a chauffeur will always be desired.
This should prepare our younger generation to learn to adapt.
As per the jobs,
It will make them happy playing games at the same time earning,
watching advertisement and being paid.
It is always an action where an opposite and equal reaction takes place.
Advantage and disadvantage type.
Regards
Dear @jackramsey
Humans need purpose to live. Otherwise many will kill themselfs. I strongly believe, that consumption of goods and services isn't going to replace that urge to have a purpose and meaning.
Wouldn't you agree?
Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion with us. Appreciate it. Have a great sunday ahead.
Yours, Piotr
Usually the purpose comes with the environment you are in, if you are in war zone, being good in using drones will help you survive, if you are in urban areas where there are no place to exercise playing games using simulators helps, when you are in rural areas planting in Farmville will not make you eat some lunch. You have to plant and raise your food.
Otherwise making a post in steemit then earn some cup of coffee.
Humans can easily adapt especially the easiest stuff. Then again we really do need to be concerned for the future of humanities. Where are we all heading with this...

We are in an era where machine are going to overpower us. We would be helpless in that situation. It is claimed that AI and robotics will generate newer forms of jobs but it is not true. When everything will be done and performed by AI equipped robots, we will have nothing to do. Whom will the rich people sale their goods because there will be unemployment all over the world and people won't have any purchasing power. Governments will allow them to live but it will surely be a chaotic situation. Ultimately, the civilization will collapse.
Governments cannot do much because they have no solution of too much population.
Dear @akdx
Surely AI and machines are going to overpower those who will not be able to adjust to this changing word.

Actually most gov seem to be happy to create even higher population :/
Yours, Piotr
There were a lot of job and opportunity revolutions in history. Many people lost their job when land was used for cattle breeding instead of planting. They found new jobs in industry (of course dangerous and underpaid). In factories man's labor started to be replaced by machines, the production was cheaper and many craftsmen lost their livelihood. In days when AI starts to be common part of our lives many jobs in industry or care of patients, guests… will be endangered. I am sure that there occur a lot of new possibilities for humans' jobs.
Hi @hairyfairy

As the world presses forward with tech advancements in almost every area of human endeavours, it is hard for us not to expect change that would bring a better way of doing things, live and interact with one another.
Jobs will be re invented to meet the challenges of modern day living that would deliver optimum quality at a reduced cost. Automation of some of some jobs/work is to be expected, but I don't see it replacing everything we do manually.

Dear @Crypto.Piotr
Yes and NO xD, still, I do love You brother, heheh..
From what I understand, leisure time as it is now-a-days is part of the problem, the sheer entertainment filled with propaganda to make us have unnatural 'feelings', 'needs', 'ideas', etc..That probably will raise the suicide numbers, since the education system is part of the 'dumbification', killing curiosity in younger minds and programming 'good slaves' for work, destroying union, the family nucleus, consciousness and many other natural things..And while I do agree we should have some kind of occupation, it should definitely be for personal and group growth not for money, this might be difficult to understand because the majority are still under the control of the elites, governments, politics, banks, etc.. and can't think for themselves for as much as they believe they do, in fact what we should not follow are these institutions, we should ALL grow our own food, raise our children, educate them, take care of neighbours, etc..I used to be completely for the automatization of everything, and still am to an extent but, only if governments, banks, military and other shitty systems are put to an end, because if they don't, the population reduction agenda will continue to be implemented and all the problems we saw raising alongside the technological "progression" will exponentially continue to grow, until our extinction (our, not of the 'elites'), and this is something we can fact check in our time by truly observing, it's not even on a history book that could have been written by these same 'elites', to control what we think and what we do..No! The investment that is truly need are resources, materials, time(dedication of those who are willing to implement it) not money.. And UBI should work fine as a transitory mark, but with the current capital materialistic consumption in place and the 'dumbification' of the younger genarations, the destruction of consciousness and the family, it will not work, instead of helping people understand the NON-necessity of money, as it is in fact, a tool to mind, physical and spiritually control us, and help transition to a natural state, it will indeed create more problems..
Again, No! You remove banks and credit and most of the problems start to be solved, add a real education based on truth and real progression and we would have a "second garden of Eden"..
Also, I used to be one of those who believed it would be good to have an AI as a best friend, lover, only because I'm mostly alone (came to understand that it is due to all the mind control that turn the majority into zombies), but with time, study, spiritual growth, and the gradual dissociation from most mind controlling systems came to realization that I don't really want it anymore, there is no soul, consciousness or any kind, empathy in the AI, only coded 0's and 1's whether You choose binary or quantum computing, in the end are only 0 or 1, imposed or superimposed, it's always an imposition, not truth..I do have that problem also with the voting power, and I probably don't have as much accounts and comments to upvote as You probably do, what I do is give it time and hope for people to understand, after all we're all in the same "boat", whether conscious or complete zombies..In Lak'ech Ala K'inAmazing comment @cyberspacegod

The truth is that the technology of today is surpassing any human hand, and will continue to update technology at a level that as they say in futuristic movies, the cars will fly, but I think that human intelligence will continue to outperform the technology since we are the inventors.
Thousands of people could lose their jobs to be replaced by simple machinery, I think it could happen like that, but human intelligence will always be an important factor in any investment or in any company.

Hello dear @crypto.piotr.
I agree with you, my friend, the governments of the world are there to ensure the wellbeing of the citizens and seeing a large number of threatened jobs they will intervene for the benefit of the population. Another thing that can happen is that new jobs arise, with alternatives that we still do not know, that I would say years ago that we would be generating income through the blockchain, was something unthinkable a few years ago.
That is one of the many benefits of AI, robotics and those things, they are being applied both to the field of medicine and to the social area of people, it is something extremely positive.

The idea that one day when I get up .. there would be robots all around doing all the jobs can be scary. So what would we humans do ?
Would we humans be masters and the robots would come come and give us their salary? Just a thought worth pondering...
any thoughts @everyone
Dear @animaya
Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion with us. Appreciate it. Have a great sunday ahead.

The truth is that very little I think about this topic, but if I can tell you, this AI gives me a little fear, why? Well, the creators of it do not think about the limits, because I understand that they are designed even to recognize states of mind and human feelings!
Just thinking that a robot can identify my feelings gives me some chills.
I feel that this investment used for AI, should be used to improve human education, since there is much illiteracy in the world, and humans have much to give, but there are those who need a little support to exploit knowledge and give much , even more than what a machine can offer, and is that there is something that, however much it is invested and desired, the robost will not be able to replace, the human warmth and that feeling of humanity that develops only in us.
If it is true that AI has advantages, but we must not forget that without human intelligence AI could not be, that's why I reiterate my thinking, more investment in human education and we will be better.
Thanks friend @crypto.piotr for sharing with me this post

I think you have a good grasp of these issues @crytp.piotr. Obviously no one can predict or say what will happen precisely but, I look at the trends and I am not too alarmed by them.
I recently began work as a ride share driver for Lyft (similar to Uber). Both Lyft and Uber recently involved with IPO stock offering. What some ride share drivers aren't aware of, is that the purpose of those stock offerings is to generate capital to put directly into driverless car technology. Both Lyft and Uber want to have a fleet of driverless cars and it may be that maintaining a human driver fleet is just a stepping stone for these companies.
As a Lyft driver, should I be worried? Not really. First of all, I understand that the AI technology will only enrich the service provided, but it will not eliminate the niche for human drivers. I forsee as many accidents and mishaps created by AI (driverless) cars than many riders are willing to risk.
This will make AI cars less expensive while creating a "premium" value for human drivers... I think human drivers will end up making even more money.
This is just one narrow aspect of AI technology taking over where I predict it will have a good outcome for me personally.
Dear @jbgarrison72
Thank you again for your super-valuable feedback. I absolutely love reading your comments!
Personally I cannot imagine using such a technology. Knowing that "car can kill me" scares me more than idea that human mistake could do that.
Idea of car being hacked is even more scary.
Yours
Piotr
I agree with you @crypto.piotr... I will not be volunteering to ride in driverless cars (and the companies involved know that most of my age demographic share that sentiment). It's the zennials that this tech is generally aimed at.
Dear @jbgarrison72
Thx for comment.
I wonder how things will change once someone important will die in this kind of car and it will turn out that car has been hacked. If something like that would go viral - it may potentially destroy trust towards this entire industry.
Cheers

Hi @ crypto.piotr, the future of the AI, in my opinion is close for some countries that has that technology and are very well developed in that aspect, now, it is good and it is bad, good for the part of helping the work that requires a lot of effort and it is convenient to help the human being but it has not replaced it completely because there comes the part that I consider bad, it is good that they implement technology to help us but not to replace us, because this is how unemployment grows in a country. it is not favorable or I think it is not favorable because for the work that you do, you get an income to cover our needs, now without that income as we cover those needs? That's why I think it's OK to help or complement the AI but never to replace us. regards

Puede existir un robot que me reemplace. Pero un robot o AI no podrá dar el afecto y atención que los niños y adolescentes necesitan, sobre todo ests días donde la tecnología los hace más hábiles en las relaciones mediadas por un dispositivo pero los aisla de su entorno próximo, inclusive el entorno familiar. Es un desiquilibrio en el desarrollo social que debe ser tomado en cuenta.
Entonces de una forma u otro no será suficiente y la humanidad terminaría por darse cuenta de error que sería ceder a una máquina lo que en realidad nos compete a nosotros con todo lo imperfecto que podemos llegar a ser.
En otro sentido el hombre siempre será necesario inclusive en una socedad robotizada, pues el ser humano es el creador de estas máquinas, sin ellos fabricandolos y realizando respectivas actualziaciones y mantenimiento, no existiria o se mantendria tal sociedad.
There may be a robot that replaces me. But a robot or AI can not give the affection and attention that children and adolescents need, especially in days where technology makes them more skilled in the relationships mediated by a device but isolates them from their immediate environment, including the family environment. It is an imbalance in social development that must be taken into account.
Then one way or another will not be enough and humanity would end up realizing the error that would be yielding to a machine what really belongs to us as imperfect as we can become.
In another sense, man will always be necessary even in a robotic society, because the human being is the creator of these machines, without them manufacturing them and making respective updates and maintenance, no such society would exist or be maintained.

I've heard about UBI (Universal basic income). In the beginning I though it was a good idea, but now i think it is a populist policy to pay some cents to the people and avoid a social crash when they lost their jobs due to AI.
So far, I think is a good idea to learn coding and data analysis, even if it is a boring subject. Another measure could be to brainstorm ideas about how to survive in the AI world.
What soft skills are needed in the future? I don't know, but it's a good time to find answers.
Dear @danielfs
I dont think UBI has a chance to succeed. PEople need a purpose to live. Consumtion is not a purporse.

People are actually comfortable with their lives but don't know what is ahead. I agree that It is important to find a purpose, but i believe that purpose can be found in everyday actions, there is no need to chase the magical pill of purpose.
I'm afraid gurus will have a good time selling their stuff.
As a projectionist I saw the smaller meeting room type work going to robots a few years ago. Sony brought out a projector & said just plug it in & turn it on, do not touch it again. The camera next to the lense aided it in zomming, shifting & focusing itself to the screen.
Thx for your comment Troy
Dear @ crypto.piotr, I will leave my opinion on this important issue.
I think that the AI is something that threatens the population of workers programmed for a thing, that is, that it is a repetitive process and almost does not take learning simply a programming.
In these times, robots have been developed that learn according to what you say or what the robot does, so they have their own learning system just like humans, and as for the people who work in the field and not in offices that they are more repetitive and without learning new things from work as I told you it is a programming, but following with the people of the field is something that is also threatened by robotic machines programmed to plant or collect harvest.
I stress that what they say in the post "No job is safe", makes a lot of sense and is 100% true, but business owners are the only ones who are not endangered in their work, since they create their own robots and do not hire employees, I also share my view of the schools, I think they are made to program people to work as employees, but now it is not as profitable to go to a school since there will be no employment after graduating from the University.
That is my point of view and my humble opinion on this very interesting topic.

Hello dear @crypto.piotr, thank you very much, I also like the topics that you share with us, that is why we leave our opinion....
artificial intelligence only benefits man ... as such there is no such intelligence if it is not through the creation of the same man, if in a case said intelligence and machines did not depend on us ... it would be a total case of evolution , a new being able to do everything by itself.

Hey,
Artificial Intelligence is what I started in 1985 having taken classes to get into it and had been advised by a very intelligent classmate that VLSI was her thing and that there was no future in AI.
I am not going to get into the details of my professional experience and my assessment - not here and not now.
But, not to worry!
Why?
Decision makers are not very intelligent or motivated by their implementation. Most news are just hype and marketing gimmicks!
Profit-driven developments of AI will never be truly intelligent.

I'm all for practical use of AI and automation. I make use of the self check out at our local Wal Mart when ever possible. There will always be those who are tech savy and want more tech and likely there will be those for whom interaction with another human being during business or retail transaction is necessary. Will AI and automation completely take over? I don't see it in the near future.

New tech, new culture, new opportunities.
Hi @crypto.piotr, I understand your concerns and I agree almost everything you pointed out. The good thing might be, that this will take such a long time! Just check the old movies, when they predict, what will be in 2019, they are mostly wrong. Or not wrong, but those things take more time, than "they" think. So, if there will be a concern of masses for a job (stolen by AI machine), it's definitely a song of the future (30-40 years). Well, surely in big cities, it can be earlier, but there are still places on earth there is no internet connection, you can pay only in cash etc.
PS. Even a computer need a human touch from time to time.
PPS. The Universal Basic Income might be a good solution.

Hi Piotr, I agree on this, but my point was, that the manufacturing, agriculture etc. might be done by machines and people can do the creative stuff like drawing, steemit blogging, playing computer games (for money/living) etc., which obviously don't bring society anything material. In the sense that you don't feed anyone by an article on steemit or playing football for Barcelona for example, but if someone pays for it, its surely requested "somewhere".
Thank you for always being so responsive @ritxi :)
I think you're right with your argument of everything, including automation, is at risk of slowing down.
Maybe a needed breather for us to think and discuss the implications of AI grounded automation just a moment longer.
On the other hand growing economic pressures often lead to cutting edge new technology's to break through. So I'm a little ambivalent on this.
We've also seen that the "discussion" around the globe , or is it propaganda(?), to ease the outcome of massive job loss risks by UBI, robot taxation and so on gain traction.
And this happens at a stage in this arena where we possibly are at the brink of AGI becoming a reality. To me it's absolutely thinkable that Ray Kurzweil's estimations are timeline wise a underestimation of the "singularity" becoming a reality and I'm afraid that this, even if it takes e little longer, will still hit us like nothing else has ever impacted humans.
I find myself reading a lot about this general matter and thinking to myself we are trying to handle little sideeffect's like job loss or banning certain technology's from the battlefield or other aspects around this, trying to understand "the good, the bad and the ugly" fragments of this quantum leap we have right in front of us.
...and we're not ready! Not a bit.

I don't think that the problem is really that important. When my dad was young, in the nineteen fifties, people of that time said that technology would mean that no one would have to work in the future, I think, 50 years. Yet, here we all are working just the same, jobs have changed, but work good on. If computers ever become good enough to take over from humans, I think that's the time when humans become extinct. So, we either carry on working, or we cease to exist, not I ouch off a choice there.

Hello Piotr,
Sorry for responding to this so late.
Personally, I believe humans will learn to adapt faster as the techno-wave keeps swelling. New jobs will arise to suit the new age, as always happens after technological revolutions. Yes, the world will change considerably, but that's the point isn't it? Having AI take over jobs so humans will be able to allocate more time and brainpower to other ventures. Excess leisure? Puh-lease! That's pure fantasy. It has always been work or die with the human race and that's never going to change. The nature of the work will only change. As long as we're ready to adapt as individuals, then we have nothing to fear. I'm a writer and all analysts claim A.I. will never be able to do such creative jobs, but I'm not betting on it. Falling into a false sense of security in this age will only beget trouble.
Cheers!
Dear @petermarie
I only had a chance to read your comment now (somehow I've skipped it before).
Older people had difficult time adapting in the past and now I think it will be only harder for them. Of course new generation will adapt very fast, but current generation will most likely stay behind.
