Google Is Already Late to China's AI Revolution
- alec33 9y agoWe are now going through a major economic disruption, as human labor is being replaced through technology and automation. Yes, in some areas, as described here, the replacement is more like assistance than elimination. But, in time, more and more and more of work will be done by machines. Machines will even manufacture and repair machines. At that time man will enter a new era - a post-capitalism era where we will be free to do what we want to do, not what we have to do. It is like being retired with enough money. Between now and then, things will get worse. Politicians and the rich are misdirecting our attention. We are told it is because of offshoring - whereas only 14% of all job losses are due to that, whereas 86% of all job losses are due to technology/automation replacing human activity (stats are provided by expert with http://yourhomeworkhelp.org/do-my-statistics-homework/ http://yourhomeworkhelp.org/do-my-statistics-homework/ ). The investment class is reaping the benefits - while people compete for fewer and fewer good jobs. The costs of Education, Healthcare and Housing continue to outpace wage growth for most. Many troubles of today's society will get worse until we get a handle on managing the transition. Still, as stated here https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/19/technology/lawyers-artificial-intelligence.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/19/technology/lawyers-artifi... and as I believe AI cannot replace the actual human being and I hope it never will
