[@mateuszbieniek4791]

I completely disagree with the economist on the points made. And the economist is not exactly consistent here either. 1) The ocado example is a bad example which does not take into account the growing market in the field. First of all, they are far from automated yet, so that is a big automation area. Second of all, it is a market that in the long term will take some jobs away from supermarkets. Finally, the hope there is that some kind of robotics systems will be capable of fully automating the entire process, getting rid of the humans. This is what happened in the car factories: the automation is almost complete. You could similarly cherry pick the example of addidas factory coming back to germany because they fully automated the shoe making process, and give the impression that automation kills all jobs. 2) The statement that the automation creates jobs is going in the face of the eroding job market, which is discussed in the beginning of the video. The beginning of the video shows that people work in the gig economy: meaning that they have no better alternatives. Meaning that the job market increasingly wants only the engineers etc who will further automate processes. Meaning that the automation hits a lot of people. If so much automation is happening, and thus so many more jobs are being created, why is there so much struggle? Why is there so much shortages and austerity? 3) Recently the economist said that the one job that sees a steady growth is the cleaning services, and services of that type in general. So once we automate most of it, we will all be cleaners. Hyperbole. 4) The automation is only beginning, and that is because the field of artificial intelligence is only exploding now. Ocado is only a toy project to a full automation where drones/SDCs drive the shopping after picking them up from the warehouse where robots prepare the packages. Side points: I distinctly remember that there was a huge stanford report in 2007/8 about how we are finally seeing automation killing more jobs than creating them. Sure, maybe we can all work in the advertisement trying to sell products to each other. After that we started seeing zero/one-hour contracts across the western countries and erosion of labour rights. I would love to see that group and some systematic analysis of the different economic stances on this. Historically, the economist seems to be to be skewed towards automation, shouting the same message, "it creates jobs". Like the uber CEOs saying "fully automating uber will only mean more work for the uber drivers" ...

[@gypsyspears]

Growing businesses ALWAYS create jobs, automation or not. Saying that the use of robots created Occado jobs is misleading. It is not in any way sure that we will have as many jobs as before. Or if the workforce will be able to perform them without support for skill changes.

Im working in AI research, just can tell you that we are just at the very beginning of what it is possible. The most scary thing for me is merging biology (specifically the brain) with technology as I really do fear this results in dystopian settings :( and another track is 'general intelligence' but currently we are are far far far away from human performance, we do not know much about it to be honest

If someone wanted to work in AI, what would be a list of skills would you recommend someone to learn?

[@futavadumnezo]

My solution would be this: full automatization will mean only maintenance workers and engineers will be needed on a production line the rest of the 'workers' would be people having rights to buy stock and a type of stock for each robot meaning you can buy stock for example 100 production or assembly robots and you get a share of the profit they make. Because they produce dozens and even hundreds of times faster and more than a human worker even if the stock share is low you still get enough money that could count as a salary. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, English is not my first language. Basically saying that robots do the work and we make a living out of stock shares, or work from home maybe. Worst case scenario, if they don't want to share, will be the government to force huge taxes and fees on them so they can pay a minimum 'wage' a social assistance pay.

this is so dumb, if you wanna buy stocks you already can. Instead of this why wouldn't we just tax the robots and then offer some sort of UBI to our population

Rejoice man!!! Our future is bright doesn’t mean the present is beyond contempt & contest!!Rather now is the time to break the ground and prime the spirits for the egalitarian future awaiting!!!

Blockchain and DLT will disrupt the gig economy, the best way to run this "collective workforce" is to decentralize it. Bye bye fiverr's 20% cut!

Maybe automation could create, as suggested by the video, as many jobs as it has replaced. But in general, most of these new jobs would be mechanic and repetitive, unlike the holistic jobs they would wipe out. It is simply crazy to monitor laborers or workers with surveillance. And the big data would tell the supervisor who is less efficient by a thin margin and lose his job.
