Is this the video about the launch of the Spot Robot from Boston Dynamics? The humanoid robots are far from gaining the kind of dexterity and maneuverability to function in a room crowded with people bumping into them. Even if some day they did, i don't think that patrons would prefer continue going to a restaurant to be served by charm-less robots.
A real waitress/ waiter has so much more to offer to the ambiance as well as the customer. Some "services" would always remain better with humans.

Unfortunately this is how the civilization works.New technology replaces human labor.People,who work in low and minimum wage jobs and are performing repetitive tasks are pretty much screwed.
However,I don't believe that this Spot Robot will be mass adopted by the small businesses anytime soon.

It is why only computer programmers and developers are the ones who cannot be replaced in the future because they are the ones who create computers and robots, that is why jobless people would increase their numbers in the future. Many people had already predicted this kind of situation a year ago, that is why if we want to be rich, you need to learn how to code or program.

Not really as A.I will be able to self program and self debug ... so not even we as programmers will be safe from job loss...

In the 4.0 industrial revolution, some professions will slowly disappear. This can create fewer jobs because human labor will be replaced by technology. It is feared that there will be more unemployment due to the replacement of human power by machine and robot technology. Human resources or labor must prepare themselves to face the digital economy era and sophisticated technological developments.

Technology is considered unable to take over jobs that depend on human interaction such as doctors (including nurses, pharmacists and medical personnel) and teachers or other jobs with special skills. Other professions that will always exist in the era of the 4.0 industrial revolution are professions that rely on human creativity.

The good thing I am rooting for is that when most jobs are replaced by robots, the populace will all have a chance to be inclined to a more scientific endeavors like doctors, engineers, scientists and other STEM related oppurtunities. But considering capitalism and consumerism, we might be going down a dark path. The idyllic scenario will be achieved if right now we are experimenting with different types of governance, like universal basic income or something of the same nature as the former.

Nothing is too important that does not have option of replacement. Do we say that too in many years ago when computer system is not known and other means were known. The people in that generation too can have such thinking but we are here now seeing the computer and technology age. Things do change from time as life is going on, we keep changing with it.

Is that true? There is no way I would get into a driverless car. But then, I don't use taxis anyway.

You won't but most of the people won't have a problem with it. Moreover with increased usage of IOT this technology would become much better and maybe errorless. More over once this becomes a normalcy even you would begin to think it like something normal. But this technology might take atleast 30-40 years to develop completely.

No this actually is a pretty wrong. Won't say that the complete computer development arena would be endangered but if we are developing most of the process would become mechanical and this process includes coding. So coding too could be done using Robot's itself. Think of it if driving with so many uncertain variables in the environment can be done by a robot. Coding a program on similar lines of that of previous one can be easily done by a robot and most of the coders code something that already exists. Very few coders are involved at that high level where the code for unique innovations. So technically even the employment for coders could get reduced. Moreover who knows if the whole computer environment is revolutionized with some new technology of code development? So only the person who moves with change would survive.

Agree with that. Even if the continuous development and innovation of AI, some jobs are still better with humans.

Also given that that "thing" could possibly replace humans jobs, and get back the investment in 25 months, don't forget that it will also increase electricity cost if they will totally replace humans of those jobs mentioned.
It's inevitable that we are slowly adapting and depending on the technology but I think it will still take time. Even with that advanced technology, not everyone prefers using it.

Im my country, most restaurants, and fast foods now do not accept dine in because of this pandemic. Due to that, there is a low demand of waiters/waitresses/bellboys. There will be no more customers who will be eating inside the resto so the only service given is to ask what are their orders then the cook will prepare the food. Lucky also for those who work in cashier. But the sad truth is that, they are not the only employees who lost their job even drivers of a public vehicle in our country lost their job too because they are not allowed to drive.
Regarding the robots developed by the technology, yes it also reduces the need of man power. Some says they are better than humans but I think not all the times. Yes there will be no more people to pay, but buying expensive robots also refer for expensive maintenance.

Jobs related to food services have been greatly reduced during the pandemic. In addition to the salary they receive, they also lose tips from the customers.
Pandemic brings great costs to the service. Service shutdowns are necessary to protect the health of society as a whole.

[Chrystora123]

the negative impact of technological developments is the loss of some existing jobs, because in the future AI & robotics will develop greatly but there will also still be a lot of work for humans only to do too..  Based on the data, in the future, there will be more than 11 jobs that are predicted to be lost in the future;

1. Introductory letter
2. Loan Officer
3. Lecturers / Lecturers
4. Cashier
5. Travel Agents
6. Bank Teller
7. Insurance agent
8. Telemarketing
9. Librarian
10. Parking attendant
11. Developer

Somehow it gave me goosebumps.

It is still way different when people are serving you.
You get smiles or sometimes you get an angry bellboy.  
Human interaction is still the best or we will end up just like these robots without emotions even in the slightest things.
I hope I am dead when that happens.

.

I would barely agree on this mater because after watching the video attachment on how the Spot Robot works, still it would be preferable for sure that waiters and bell boys to stay on their jobs for despite all the functions and factors to get up a spot dog to keep the job done by those type of jobs I have mentioned, small businesses as well as many customers will surely still prefer manual work than automation with regards to serving foods and their services right up into their tables when doing an order in any fast food or restaurants. It is really surprising how technologies are being improved and advanced on which human features are getting targetted to be inputted on how robots work like AI feature but still humans are the superior and it is still far beyond to get into perfection before robots can perfectly do all the jobs (as in all)  that only humans can do and that is when the major threat to human services will arise and unemployment would come.

Amishmanish just made a good point, kudos! Some services are best left to humans. Seriously, would not like to be in a hotel and a robot is serving me food, I am not going to be liking that at all. And also the op raised some kind of awareness here; waiters, cleaners and similar jobs are now the ones that are starting to lose their jobs and it got worse with this coronavirus and the lockdown and the rest of them.

Why this is a sad situation is because these people are the ones that are least paid in every industry and they can’t afford most things that others can, and that means they will be having something worse to face when they have no jobs.

It will saddened everyone who will definitely lose their jobs beacuse of this Spot Robots. I think small etablishments and even those big ones should not be adopting this because this will only pave the way to more hungry stomachs because of unemployement. It would still be best to work with real humans who have different emotions to show than to face those robots who are fast yet no emotions involved.

Not all would have the same financial capacity as yours which can afford their own car.People are on the average financial status would really need to commute and do end up on riding on a taxi.
Even if they dont like to ride on a driverless taxi, are there any other choice for them? even if they dont like to, they do still end up with no choice but to deal with it.
Technology is evolving fast and it is gradually been replaced by robots even on the simpliest job on where human can do.It does have its pro's and con's, and i cant blame those companies
if  they do tend to switch into something much faster and much lesser expense for the sake of their companies profitability.It will sacrifice lots but they would opt in for their
own good, so its no surprise.

This is nothing new, technology has replaced many jobs in the past but it also generates new jobs, the difference is that many jobs that are repetitive will become obsolete and for the most part there will not be a way to replace those jobs, the jobs of the future will have to do with our ingenuity and our ability to think outside the box, this is why it is important to educate ourselves not only by receiving formal education but by learning new skills on our own that way we will have skills that are still on demand on the future.
