How Robots Can Assist - Not Replace - Humans In Factories 

Pretty much that's what they've done to the Maccas at my town. They slowly brought in self serves kiosks. And now they've fired all the cashiers and replaced them with kiosks

@@Kage-jk4pj How is that bad? Should humans stop technological progress? Or should companies be forced by government to employ people although it's 5x more efficient to use machines/robots? Which one is it?

Mārtiņš Staris Then there has to be another way to get capital in peoples hands that is not a job. What’s the point of kiosks if people don’t have money to use it?

@@Hawah15 People will be managing these machines out of which they will have capital to buy stuff via these machines. This is one example but you will always need to maintain, create and develop machines. Also intelectual work won't dissapear any soon but it's as clear as day that simple jobs will be a past in 15 or so years and people will need to adapt.

In the end it's about money. Robots can do work 24 hours with no labor rights. Humans will exist in factories still. But it'll be a slow replacement

@xmr7 pt95 Yes it is. But I am not the coworker of my microwave! ;)

Unless they can make it so humans & robots are more productive than just a machine and cost the same or less, automation will be the future as you're suggesting

In the very least they will reduce the humans

People are dying to work in factories

Amazon is working with both humans and bots. Bots scoot the crap from point a to point b, and humans sort the crap.

luca liberati so you think that is it good or no?

@@anthonybenalcazar4224 I don't think about it,there are good and bad things that needs lead better .

Most workers get paid more because of it (at least the ones who keep the job).

@@xavdest5481 Yeah we (in Italy) got around 40% of young unemployment (under 30 I think) and around 12% of general unemployment...Mostly uneducated people obviously...

@@zampy15021993 to be fair on the Italy point, there are many things contributing to the garbage economy

Facts. Immortal products. Free us from the chains of consumerism

um not really because more jobs have been created by robots + more manufacturing power

that's a huge myth perpetrated by tech companies

@@smmm5559 only problem is that the people who lost those jobs initially have trouble finding those new jobs

@@RafeedU yeah that's right but all economic polls says ai has created more jobs but yes we need to help ppl who will lose their jobs

@@smmm5559 well, it may very well work out that the factory workers of the future will be coders. Coding will probably become ubiquitous that it becomes almost valueless.

Just you'll need less and less people to do so. Up until you can make machines that can fix each other

@@Kage-jk4pj but who will fix the other robot maintaining the robot?

One of the other maintenance robots. “But who heals a Doctor when the doctor is sick?!... another doctor”

@@TheOtherOne122 you ever realise how insane it sounds?

It won't be a one to one ratio of robots it'd more like the ratio of store registers to engineers which is one company with ~50 engineers servicing around 70 stores

Don't wonder. It is.

It's not a matter of a good job paying a living income, but a job market that is none existent for unskilled labor, and that workforce is huge who won't be able to find another job unless they pursue a STEM program because according to the FBI a little less than 50% of the jobs in America are subject to be affected by automation. The great depressions highest peak of unemployment never surpassed 25%. this is going to be much more monumental than that and this report is seriously downplaying it.

This should have been the case by now not something to look forward to. Instead its just more income for big capital and the boot for low skilled labour.

@@hellfire6714 That's why there must be a demand for a decent living income in that they should be paid whether they are working or not. There would be riots in the streets if this is not the case.

@@artakbars and anti-riot swat robots can be dealt with by computer geek anarchists. 😉

Shakir Akbars gonna need a lot of robots for 70 million people with nothing but free time on they hands.

Greed? Its called smart move. Robot doesnt get pregnant or need vacation and all those dramas

I want socialism. I want to get paid for not working. Give me my handouts u greedy millionaires

jasin biggs 😂

"why everything gotta cost money"

1N73RC3P7OR cause these billionaires would be nobodies without it. So they invented money. I understand if Facebook mark wants money cause hes kind of young. But why does billionaire charlie munger still making more money. Hes hairless, ugly and almost 100. He should be giving the money to me. Im tired of being broke

Make laws that portions of what robots make being given away?😅😅😅

At least near term robots can't replace jobs without routine

Those tech companies would still have business they wouldn't abandon in the united states....... what company would abandon the largest market in the world because they get taxed on taking away jobs and replacing it with their technology that doesn't need healthcare or pensions... They would become ultra rich...

Skeeters Produce you don’t understand the majority of the Tech like Facebook ,Microsoft ,google,companies run platforms and don’t have robot, This will decrease the rentability of any company who don’t make money with computer programs or the internet,consequently their will be for more attractive for investors. If this is the case the job will go to Mexico (with the new NAFTA or the WTO rules) it will be fare more profitable to produces in Mexico who already have less regulations, lowers wages, and possibly more friendly taxes. The numbers of twin cities will explodes ..... THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR ANY ECONOMIC IS INNOVATION,IMAGINE FORD HAD A DECREASE IN CARS SALES ,MAKING THEM LOSES MONEY BECAUSE ROBOT TAXES, YOU CANNOT PREDICT ACCURATELY 100% every time DEMANDS/REVENUE. WE ALREADY HAVE A : -Sales taxes -corporates taxes -income tax -capitale gains taxes IT WILL VERY DIFFICULT FOR STARTUP IN THE USA TO RISE BECAUSE EVERY EQUIPMENT COULD BECOME A LIABILITY IN A ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS

@@evaristegalois8600 I do understand that, I haven't been living under a rock all my life. That's why they need to be taxed on their use of OUR DATA. They make billions and don't get taxed on the ad revenue we provide them and OUR data they use to sell off to other industries. They need to be taxed heavily considering they paid ZERO in taxes this year.

@@evaristegalois8600 You think Mcdonalds is going to move its entire operation to Spain because of paying tax on their 'robots' when they don't have to pay payroll, healthcare, insurance, pension, 401ks, and the entire lot if they choose to automate that job? You just citied that we have corporate taxes, income taxes, and capital gains taxes but i really don't believe you know what that actually means. I work in accounting and had worked in tax, and those taxes are absolutely necessary and that is almost universal across the world. The capital gains tax is low as of 2017, corporate tax is 21%, is already pretty low, lower then the marginal rate for a lot of individual tax payers. Taxing them isn't going to scare business away, theres to much money to be made in America for that to ever happen and what you hear is fear mongering and propaganda backed by large corporations.

Skeeters Produce No at all , for me all the companies who uses robots for services will maintain their equipments in the USA , all the robots used for manufacturing goods will be moves away the country if(of course this not will be the case for every industry) they can reduces cost by doing it. Personally I’m absolutely not against capital gains tax at this present rates (it incentivizes investment). If I was a legislator I will increase by 7% the capital gains taxes of the companies who practices stocks buy back. Suppose you own all the stocks of a company before trump ,the government will taxes 35% of the profits before taxing 21% of capital gains. I am not against a taxes reform but I think it is important to improves the debt/GDP ratios ,for me the universal basic income is not a solution ( the mains argument of taxing the robot and IA is they will be jobs who cannot be replaced) It is for more important for me to fight planned obsolescence.I ‘am not a fan of big government but I consider he have an important role to plays. The main reason for me to consider that a heavy taxation of robots could be negative in the long term is the demographic evolution of the USA population with the baby boomers who will leave the work force and the social security who will probably be bankrupt in the next 15 years... All regard fiscal policies I assumes you should know far more than me all regards your profession I only assumes that heavy taxation and big subventions is not the solution for everything, I will sites Puerto Rico for example

ScamallDorcha dangerous overall

I disagree it helps because with robots do all our laber more sports will be available

greek vampy a lot of the population doesn’t play sports and the world won’t just turn to utopia where you are paid to do nothing a lot of people have to uprise first and there will be a revolution.

Until robots fix robots and u will only need to supervise, then AI will watch them and factories will be like in "Satisfactory game" input given, it outputs, u dont go in

@@ElAdri1999 ..... yea we can let my geat grandchildren worry about that. Sounds like alot of math.

Yes we should stop all progress and figure out what the hell we're doing with it, how it can help people not capital and get the tech lobbies in check

Beep beep robot welfare beep beep more lubricant less job beep beep 😂😂😂😂

Wait till A.I takes over...robots might have a different opinion.

@Ralph Northam Awsome

Nothing, as long as we don't then lie about the what happens after. If/when we figure out some kinds of basic income systems or whatever, it'll be fine. Now just seems politicians etc. are deluding themselves thinking millions of truckers for example will just find new jobs.

More like mass layoff because the more productive a single worker is, the less likely they would need more workers.

Chill out

Sorry to burst your bubble BUT JAPAN HAS BEATEN YOU AMERICANS IN THIS GAME ALREADY IN 1980! During the year 1980, a group of Japanese and American industrialists collaborated how to use these new emerging technologies such as full computers, full robotization, full automation, upgradable and changeable multi-product assembly line systems. The Japanese wanted to automate around their human workforce to ACHIEVE LABOR FLEXIBILITY for humans are the only ones who can deal with the unexpected. While their American counterparts wants to remove the human workforce element. Then after the meeting the Japanese did their thing and ACHIEVE STUPENDOUS RESULTS. The Americans went to so much unnecessary troubles and expense that they themselves have to admit that the Japanese were right all along but many of their fellow Americans refuses to admit it and still, even to this day, achieve only partial success and forced to use the Japanese advice. Even with multiple-omni-directional gripper hands and wrists and with multiple-omni-directional 3-dimensional IF eye sensors and advance processors can make an orderly work from a highly disordered work place and even pick at ramdom a piece of component from a bin containing a mixture of different kinds of components all mixed up together and yet unerringly look, search, locate, and pick that particular piece of component. They still need humans to make sure that they do the right thing JUST IN CASE OF A COMPUTER GLITCH which is what the Japanese are still doing up to this day. BUT THE JAPANESE RE-IVEST HEAVILY INTO THEIR WORKFORCE WHICH IS WHY THEY HAVE AN INTENSIVE AND EXTENSIVE UP-TRAINING AND SCHOOLING PROGRAM EVERY YEAR WHICH IS DONE ON ROTATION WHICH IS WHY THERE ARE 3 TO 4 JAPANESE WORKERS DOING THE SAME JOB TO COUNTER-CHECK/INSPECT EACH OTHER'S PERFORMANCE based on the principle "United We Stand, Divided We Fall".
