Google’s chairman denied that “robot robbing work”

Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: Eric Schmidt, chairman of the parent company of Google (microblogging), is not worried that robots will grab human work.

When speaking at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab on Wednesday, the well-known technology executive called himself a "rejector of grabbing work."

What is his argument? He said that it is undeniable that with the development of technology, some work will be replaced by robots, but more new work will emerge.

The threat of automation to traditional work has caused many economists and sociologists to worry. They worry that once left unchecked, the development of artificial intelligence and technology will cause many people to lose their jobs and no longer find new jobs.

The latest research published by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) predicts that by the early 1930s, 38% of jobs in the United States will be "replaced by robots and artificial intelligence." In the UK, this figure is 30%; Germany is 35% and Japan is 21%. The Global Economic Forum also warned that just as the automation of the previous industrial revolutions would lead to job losses, by 2020, the "fourth industrial revolution" would lead to a reduction of more than 5 million jobs.

When asked about the impact of artificial intelligence on work, Schmidt said, "There is no doubt that work will be lost." But this is not the whole truth.

“Some economists always emphasize the work that is lost, but you have to look at the newly created work. Let's take a look at this example: Suppose California allows unmanned heavy trucks to travel on highways, then the original The person who drives this truck will undoubtedly lose his job. So, will the loss of this work bring more new jobs? This is possible," he said.

"Of course, no one knows the answer exactly now. But I will always hold this view: this industrial revolution is different from the industrial revolution of the past. I don't deny that there will be a lot of work lost, but overall there will be more New work is produced."

The example of a truck listed by Schmidt is very interesting, because the Waymo company of Alphabet is specializing in the development of driverless cars. Moreover, its driverless car has been tested for millions of miles. Once the development of unmanned technology is successful, we will see millions of truck drivers unemployed.

Basically, Schmidt's views on this issue are very optimistic. He also stressed the need to provide people with the appropriate skills training to adapt people to new employment opportunities.
