The question of whether intelligent robots should replace labor is not limited to academic debates. Intelligent robots have already launched "massive invasions" into real life. The well-known consulting firm Boston Consulting predicts that by 2025, 25% of work will be replaced by intelligent robots or smart software. Let us take a look at what work areas have been occupied by intelligent robots so far.
taxi driver
In February of this year, Uber, the originator of taxi software, officially announced that it would work with a research and development center at Carnegie Mellon University to study driverless cars.
Uber intends to use driverless cars as an important business for the company. According to Uber CEO Travis Skalanic, Uber's high service price accounts for a considerable portion of the driver's expenses. After the application of unmanned technology in the future, this part of the cost will be saved, and people will be able to live throughout life. Enjoy car rental services at a lower cost than buying a car.
factory worker
In China, intelligent robots have begun to grab workers' jobs. The world's first all-intelligent factory was born in Dongguan, and all its workers are intelligent robots.
Since September last year, 505 factories in Dongguan have invested a total of 4.2 billion yuan in order to replace 30,000 labor with intelligent robots. Foxconn plans to achieve 30% smart robot penetration in the next five years.
reporter
Recently, Tencent Finance released a message called "August CPI rose 2% year-on-year to a 12-month high". The content is unremarkable, and the source of the article has become the headline.
This news is automatically generated by the algorithm of the automated news writing robot "Dreamwriter" developed by Tencent Finance according to the algorithm. This is the first time in China that a news manuscript written by a robot has appeared.
The antenna of the intelligent robot has been extended to the field of mental work! In the future, the company earnings report you saw in Forbes magazine or a sports report you read at the Associated Press is likely to be written by robots.
It is reported that a US science company has developed a software that can acquire data on its own and turn it into news content that humans can understand. The software can write news reports before the company releases its performance report. The company claims that with the software, you can see the earnings reports of thousands of companies in Forbes magazine.
KrisTIan Hammond, the company's chief scientist, points out that 90% of news will be written by robots in the next 15 years, but that doesn't mean that 90% of journalists will lose their jobs.
He said: "This means that journalists can broaden their business scope, and the news content of the future world will be more abundant. In the future, journalists will not need to write news based on data. These clear news contents that do not require in-depth interpretation analysis will be The robot is to write.
Doctors
Robots are very good at finding a viable way to treat diseases by analyzing large amounts of data.
It is reported that the IBM supercomputer "Watson" has established cooperative relations with more than a dozen hospitals in the United States to provide the best treatment for diseases such as cancer. The vision software system developed by IBM can even detect early skin cancer.
In recent years, robots have begun to participate in surgery, for example, to assist doctors in keyhole kidney surgery. In this surgery, speed is a key factor in success, and robots suture blood vessels much faster than humans.
However, robotic involvement in surgery is not completely safe. A recent US safety report stated that robotic surgery killed 144 people in the past decade.
Writer Jerry Kaplan wrote in an article about automation instead of labor: "Doctors can't let robots treat patients. But the truth is, patients need more careful robots than doctors who work overloaded."
Bartender
The Royal Caribbean's newest luxury cruise ship already has a robotic bar, Shakr Makr, which was developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Consumers can place orders through a tablet, and not just the wines offered on the menu, consumers can also customize personalized cocktails.
The robot can mix and shake different drinks like a real bartender and pour the cocktail into a glass in the sink.
BBC reporters tasted cocktails prepared by robotic bartenders and live bartenders. The fact is that the cocktails prepared by robotic bartenders are not very good because they don't do fine-tuning like real bartenders, such as squeezing One or two drops of lemon juice to taste.
