But the problem is that what will happen with the tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions, between now and the middle of the century, hundreds of millions of jobs that are going to be lost, because it is not only the androids that will replace us in tasks where we are working. humans, keep in mind that these androids, these robots, are designed to move in human environments.
There are already many robots in the industry and there will be more in the future, there are robotic plants, but normally they are arms or automated systems or mechanical elements specialized in doing a specific task within a production plant, these androids are designed to do various tasks, be much more versatile and be able to move within human environments, climb stairs, enter a supermarket or be in a hotel serving the public or in a hospital caring for the sick or in a restaurant serving food, for example.And don't doubt it, they will replace millions of jobs, not even in the long run it will be positive, because what they argue is that it will mean an increase in productivity, historically whenever there has been an increase in productivity and beneficiaries are they; There has never been a reduction in the price of the product because it does not benefit them.
The serious problem will be in the transition, there will be several decades of transition and that will be very hard, I do not see any politician who is developing plans to make the transition less painful, to make the transition from a model current economic environment to another, where androids are going to occupy a fundamental part of economic activity, we are going to see them in restaurants, hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, in a multitude of places and replacing a multitude of people who have those jobs. Recently it showed a robotic system with drones that collected apples that worked 24 hours a day, the only limitation it had was that the central unit that collected the Apples, which was a kind of mechanized cart, had to go to charge energy, nothing more, But of course that drone system replaced 10 to 12 people and those people who picked apples who are going to do later, learn computer science. The owner of the land who hires this robotic service will do so because he sees that he is going to save money compared to hiring people, that is why he hires it, the transition is going to be very hard, it is going to be very hard because I do not see any interest or debate in The political class, among the rulers on this issue, none of them are concerned about issues other than hate crimes, which do insult me on Twitter. A brutal, economic and social Revolution is coming, many people are going to be left behind.
