“Demographic and labor market trends in the U.S. point to an ominous scenario. The nation potentially faces a shortfall of millions of workers in the decade to come — especially in the critical health care sector — due to a projected reduction in workforce participation.”
The supply of jobs exceeds the supply of workers, so yes, you should be able to go and get another job.
- matheusmoreira 8mo agoGive AI a medical license and all those critical health care jobs will literally disappear overnight.
- generic92034 8mo agoIt would require several breakthroughs in robotics and AI to automate a nurse's job. And then it would still be unlikely that this kind of automation is saving costs.
- NetMageSCW 8mo agoWhy not - after the first automated robotic nurse it seems unlikely the second one will cost more than raising and educating a human nurse.
- generic92034 8mo agoFor a company the costs of raising and educating humans are only a fraction of their taxes, which they might mostly avoid anyway. The costs of employing a nurse (robotic or human) for a year are much more relevant. And there I am skeptical current robotics can hold a candle to (relative) cheap human labor.
