Harmful effect of robot to the world.

[Smilevictorobinna]

The use of robot in the world is really affecting the economy and also causing unemployment.
If you build a company and you are making 1 million dollars as profit every month and then spends 6000 thousand dollars to pay your works and then you are given the opportunity to buy robots for 1 million dollars that will do the jobs your works are doing without it having faults for 10 years won't you go for it there by sacking your workers.
In the next 10 years there will be high rate of unemployment in the world because job's that should be done by humans are now given to robots and by so doing it will also affect the economy of the world.

Robots are for sure a risk for all of us but only if we don't develop ourselves with the technology. These advancements will continue to come and if we sit here and cry then nothing will come out of it.

We have to cope up with AI and learn new ways to use AI and earn money rather then crying over unemployment. Businesses will always prefer robots because they decrease their budget. We have to learn how we can add something that robot cannot. It's our time to advance otherwise we will face repercussions.

No, if I ever build a company and if I make 1 Million dollars profits per month, then spending $6k to $60k per month of workers won't be an issue for me.

I would never even think about purchasing robots even if I get one for $100k because they're nothing as compared to humans.

I would never choose a machine over a living human who can use his own mind and has emotions which a robot lacks.

A robot is always going to be a machine, and a machine is created to reduce the work of humans not to take their place.

Sounds so naïve to me because we have to grow along with technologies and upgrade ourselves and if we don't adopt technology fearing unemployment then we will not prosper and mobile phone is best example what if they would have though it has so many feature which will send  reduce the sales of so many products like camera, tape recorder, VCR, VCD, DVD player, etc we would have never seen these features.

Robots are risky as machines can be faulty as but people crying over it are sore loser as they can upgrade their skill as it's a rat race until we think about our future and embrace the latest technology we will be left behind.

A decade ago, many people going out to offline marketplace to hunt clothes, but now many people choose to buy from online marketplace. Does the sellers lose their jobs? yes some of them because they can't compete with the big suppliers, are they jobless? nope, they can work as delivery driver from those big sellers.

So, what's profession that would increase in the future? maintenance engineer since robots need to be maintained!

Robotization of production in general is very beneficial for humanity. It dramatically increases the efficiency, quality and quantity of products produced. Yes, at first there will be job cuts, but you shouldn’t be afraid of that. There will simply be a redistribution, but people will always find work. Technological progress cannot be stopped anyway, and the introduction of robots where possible will be the right decision. People, due to robotization, on the contrary, will have more time for rest and other useful activities. People will direct their efforts to creativity and new achievements, and not engage in monotonous manual labor, as is done now. If there is nothing to do on Earth, although I very much doubt this, humanity will turn its gaze to space. There is a lot of work for us there. There is always a job for everyone, if there is a desire.

Oh, another stupid topic from the guy who claimed equal prices would end world hunger!

Do you know what a world without robots would look like?
Some of you have no idea how long robots have been around, and how for every technology advance that was supposed to cause mass unemployment I reality millions of jobs have been created. If it were like you guys envision things we would till have people employed to light the street lights every night.

[Negotiation]

Nowadays countries are improving with technology robots have both good and bad aspects. Instead of depending on it you have to improve yourself and use these robots. But in fact these devices are becoming so efficient at doing their jobs that we may end up extinct just by accidentally or unintentionally misusing them. Many believe that this technology may one day go beyond human control manifest itself as an entity.

So you feel my topic is stupid well if you do good research about this you will find out that if the world keep using robot in almost every work it will really cause unemployment this days robots are serving as waiters in hotels and restaurants in some cities people don't drive again cars now drive themselves many companies use robots to move goods in and around the factory floor, data entry, basic customer service roles, and bookkeeping. This are things human are been paid for to perform and you say my topic is stupid you need to think smart next time before replying my post.

Similar statements were made when computers were coming out newly in this world. However so much down the line, nothing really changed, the same people learnt to use the computer and they are still working.

Machines have been in use for a longer period of time, just that they dont appear as the "Robot" appearance which is ingrained in our brains from pop culture. Similarly, AI has been used to run prediction algorithms and recommendations in many sites, this is nothing new. Just that the commercialization is new and that is why it is in the news now.

Just continue what you had been doing, but learn to adapt, no robot will replace the human, but having such thoughts will only worsen your mental health.

Judging from your same example, paying $6000 every month to workers is cheaper than acquiring a robot that will work for you for 10 years without fault. At the price of $1,000,000, your monthly worker's salary will be $720,000 in 10 years, which means you still have about $280,000 in wasted resources that could have been put to good use. 
 
Do you also know that the cost of maintaining a robot is very expensive, and there is no guarantee that for those 10 years it won't develop any single fault that will cost the company money? Adding to the fact that not all duties can be performed by robots, some office duties require some level of human thinking, and robots can never replace that part.

It's the same as AI, this is where the world is going and if you are the type of employee that scares this. There is only one solution and that is to upskill.
While machines have operators then for sure that these robots and AIs will need someone for their maintenance and other stuff to keep them good.
With that, you need to upgrade your skills close to that or into other industries that you like. Investing and owning a business is also good even you're just a small entrepreneur.

I don’t think we will be totally replaced by robots or at least not all fields of work would be. Maybe in factories we would see it mainly driven by robots but there are still multitudes of jobs out there that can never be done by robots.

Besides robots are still yet to be perfected and some of them still need humans to maintain and direct orders for them. 10 years is a shorter time period than you would realize.

True, there are lots of field where human interaction and logical thinking is needed  and it can't be replace by any form of Robots or AI.  For example,  Robots can't replace the duty of a nurse, robotic system can use for operation but behind that is still a human operating such system.  Aside from that even with the possibility of non-faulty operation for several years, a machine still needs a regular check-up and maintenance for it to maintain its 100% functionality.  Robots may replace people in a specific field but it also at the same time demand labor for their maintenance, program and sales.

A robot is always going to be a machine, and a machine is created to reduce the work of humans not to take their place.

In mass production where automation is soly used, you do not need a human to do the work for you. No matter how prohuman do proclaim to be you are into business and you would always want a profit. In mass production where automation is used you don't need emotions or feelings to do work rather it's  doing a kind of repetitive work for thousands and millions of times. Humans will become boring and leave, humans will complain of tiredness, humans will have misunderstanding, humans could cheat and humans get tired. But robots can work all day and night without complains and give you maximum productivity. The world is evolving, you don't actually know what the future holds.

[yhiaali3]

It is true that the use of robots in the world affects the economy and causes unemployment, but not to the extent that threatens the future of humans yet.

Despite everything, there will always be opportunities for humans, and the human element cannot be abandoned in any field. It is true that robots are superior to humans in many things, but they lack many of the features and characteristics that humans possess, which make it impossible to abandon them.

I believe that those concerned must find some kind of balance between the need for robots and the need for humans and promise to abandon one for the sake of the other. This issue must be seriously studied and appropriate solutions found.

Robots can only do what they are told to do,that's why people think that they're a threat to human existence.Robots lack humans’ creative and intuitive thinking abilities, making them less available for tasks that require innovation and problem-solving.

Robots are constantly increasing because people are tired of handling human beings and as such,they need objects or other creatures to fill in the space for humans.Personally,i see robots as replacements,and thats because they're created for performance,bringing both benefits and challenges.Most times,I can hear people saying that Sooner or later robots are going to take over the world but there's no way it gonna happen because robots depends on humans,they're been reliant on humans for their entire existence.
Hopefully,the decision makers of the world are humans and there's no room for robots to overtake us all,Just don't be fooled....!

[danherbias07]

It will depend on the business owner.
Some do like the work of human force because they will decide for themselves what to do or not unlike how it is with a programmed AI or robot as you said. Also, the interaction of people will come in handy depending on the kind of work they are in. Machines were created to ease the heavy load of jobs that cannot be done by human power only and in today's era even the easiest jobs are being taken care of by machines which gives fewer opportunities for people to have a job. I understand where you are coming from but in my opinion, there's no way a business won't need the workforce of people. Those machines will not work by themselves and they also need maintenance and monitoring. There will always be a job but we have to be keen on finding them.

[moneystery]

but the problem is that when you employ a robot it also requires maintenance and various other costs. indeed, it is more efficient than ordinary workers, but spending 1 million dollars just to buy a robot? that's equivalent to the company's profit in 1 month, how could a company be so stupid as to spend their profit in 1 month just to buy a robot? not to mention that they need an adjustment process and the short-term impacts that can be caused by mistakes made in that process. that means the company could lose millions of dollars just to switch their processes to robots. for this reason why the majority of companies are now reluctant to buy robots for their companies, because it is not necessarily effective and it could be detrimental to them.

[poodle63]

it will affect the overall economy much less it will change then entire economy landscapes I believe but its just how technology is advancing, if you somehow don't want to use robot the other will, if someone don't want to develop robot for doing such tasks other will, there's simply no escape here, people should know that cheap labour eventually gets replaced thats why they need to learn skill, but the government can also give basic protection for the ordinary citizen such as taxing robot so that the government can subsidize food for the people.
I think thats wisest approach since just holding the advancement of technology will left the country backwards compared to the other.
though right now and maybe for this whole decade even though there's no robot with sufficient capability yet that could completely replace people, but workforce are already replaced slowly these days.
