 If you look around, you would find jobs that were done by human

beings taken over by machines or robots. Robots are now flipping

burgers and driving cars. Artificial intelligence now has taken
over jobs like basic bookkeeping, legal research, and even basic
HR tasks.

 And hence, the automation apocalypse is on!

 There has been a lot of research and studies predicting most of

the human workforce will be taken over by automatons and
machines in the years to come.
 Due to the advancement in the field of artificial intelligence,
people now fear that major job crises could take place where
jobs would be performed more efficiently and accurately by
machines.

So, WILL AUTOMATION TAKE AWAY ALL OUR JOBS?

 Well, I don’t think so because this is not something new.
 The use of automation has been practiced from the
19thcentury where textile workers were replaced by weaving
machines that made their skills inessential.
 Tractors were introduced to replace mechanical power for
human physical toil.
 Computers were developed to avoid the error-prone,
inconsistent human calculation with digital perfection.

And yet, in countries like the US, the number of people

employed in the labour market is higher now in 2017 than it
was 125 years back.

To relentlessly argue that automation and artificial

intelligence is going to take away jobs ignores the potential
for productivity gains from

Revolution and development in the IT field have actually led

to increased labour productivity and overall growth in
countries like Japan and Europe between. New
technologies have resulted in the creation of jobs that had
not existed in the past, such as social-media managers.

business saves money on labour through automation or robot,

 1. Lower the price of the goods or products which makes it more
appealing, which can result in the increased demand. This can result in
the need for more workers.

The agricultural field is the only one which had a very drastic impact
due to the introduction of automation in the 1800s. But as agricultural
industries dwindled, jobs in other sectors such as working in factories,
working with computers, flying airplanes, and driving cargo across the
country —occupations that weren’t feasible in 1900 grew.

Lastly, even artificial intelligence can have its own limitations which
prevents its dominance over humankind.

Aspects which has a major role in business, aspects relating to

sentiments, feelings, judgements can never be copied by artificial
intelligence.

Such aspects are human prerogative because even robots fail to use
the flexibility and creativity in finding solutions and that is a major
drawback to the application of artificial intelligence.

So what should you do when robots replace our current jobs? Accept that
robots will be better,

that’s what human designed them for,

and find a way to work with them and how to make them work better for
us.
