The Future of Your Job in the Age of AI | Robots & Us | WIRED 

40hr work week -> 30hr work week -> 20hr work week -> 10hr work week -> Beer o'clock, every o'clock. Problem solved.

*AI journalism could be awesome as it could be programmed to be completely impartial and unbiased*

this will make the future generations strive for education

How about introducing basic income? Combination of AI with BI is the best:)

Can we have an optional Gordon Ramsay Profanity Patch-in for robot chefs please?

No drama, no complaint, no labor strike

Robot maintenance jobs on the rise.

You might think going into robotics is a safe career choice, and it is......until the robots start building other robots.

The future is for multidisciplinary people. Creativity will be more important and thinking outside of the box.

I for one welcome our robotic overlords

When you passed on that scholarship opportunity to go work in your dads shop.

It's funny cause Alaska's UBI doesn't even cover the cost of goods increase for living in Alaska. It's more expensive to ship anything up there, so everything they import is going to be more expensive than here, and over the course of a year, the $1000-2200 doesn't even cover that lol

What a dull future... nothing to live for or do... Totally uninspiring.... AI doing housework is my only interest.

take our shitty jobs. give us the universal allowance to pursue our passions. this is the end goal of civilization. do not bemoan joblessness. work for yourself. the robots will do the grunt work while our human minds transcend fear of lack of basic necessities imposed by a greedy socio-economic system. the day of happiness is upon humanity soon. the end is nigh! yes, the end of capitalism and the beginning of our global relaxation.

We don't need UBI. We need transformation through new business models that don't operate on hierarchical ownership, but on shared proportional ownership with protections against the exploitation of labor. This is an issue of exploitation of labor rearing it's head. Without exploitation of labor as "efficiency" that is in reality paying someone less than their portion of a product's worth, this is an advancement that benefits all owners. The problem is that a few consolidate ownership. A factory worker that owns their portion of the means of production wants to replace their labor with a machine's when that makes their means of production yield greater results. These same means of production then transfer into a different labor role of shared ownership and new jobs with their portion of this new means of production as maintenance and development of these machines. This is again a simple idea. I'm just explaining why it works. The idea is that if people maintain ownership of their means of production, this is a non-issue. Exploitation instead cuts out these would be owners since they have no ownership as soon as their work is no longer needed. That makes sense in a way, but as consolidating ownership into the hands of a few. All workers must own their portion of the means of production. Such ownership when replaced with machines can be invested into machines for higher RoI by working less. What a deal! Again a deal made impossible by consolidating the ownership of the means of production. The state has no right to ownership of the people's means of production. Oligarchs have no right to the people's means of production. Only the *people* have the right to their means of production. A government cannot consolidate this power to protect the people's right to this ownership. It can only protect human individual property rights as civil rights protections against exploitation against ownership of one's portion of their means of production. It is becoming essential for our economic stability to protect this human right as a civil right.

We need to flush jobs down the toilet we need freedom from jobs now

well, i'm working tech support... as long as someone is needed to maintain those bots and the equipment that controls them, i'll still have a job. might even get busier with more stuff to repair and maintain! ^^

We’ve been through this many times and it always turns out for the better. But you can’t replace a good old fashion human prostitute.

Lawyers, judges, politicians, artists etc are unlikely to be replaced by machines.

Am I the only one who thinks that the future looks awesome? More time to dedicate to the thing we really love, without caring about the money? HOW people will spend the time they have it's their freedom.

Guys if you are scared that there will be no jobs then trust me, robots don't deal drugs.

To have the universal pay there has to be one currency and one whole country (every country is formed into one country)

But if you have UBI wouldn't it mean all products will gradually get more expensive (because at first everyone will be able to afford them, so the price will have to go up). Eventually people who rely on UBI as their sole income will not be able to afford basic sustenance.

2:38 bro really is playing plants versus zombies lol

2:25, machine's can't "think"

Giving Truck Drivers job fully to AI and Robots is very risky, as it is very heavy and contain costly materials, I think their jobs will be augmented

As a (social) libertarian the whole basic income made Intuitively uneasy a few years back. When I heard the arguments as to why (same is in this video) I was already on the fence because as a programmer I see how fast AI is developing And in the next 50 years I think that indeed 50-80% of the jobs are obsolete. And we cannot let 80% of our country die from hunger and you want to have them have enough to by the goods and services that are now produced by robots. So the basic income seems to be the first step to eventually a currency free world.

i think this one of the best videos Ive seen of robots and their impact on the workforce

Nobody is thinking how to shift to a new society where the scarcity of jobs is welcome and there will be little need to work, hence money will virtually be useless and not scarse. Basically, we are approaching the moment when the current society structure does not apply

Jobs become automated because robots can do a better job for a cheaper price. Who will be able to pay for a companies services and products when a large majority of people become unemployed. For example, a large car company automates completely, sure they can now drop their prices but.... (Ford for example employs over 200,000 people). Now there is 200,000 less people to buy your product because they have no job and money. Obviously they won't all remain unemployed, but if enough jobs become automated a vast majority of them will remain so. Would love to hear what others think :D

Robots can't climb 300ft and repair a wind turbine, build an apartment, or fix your plumbing (they would get wet and break).

It's not about replacing people... "Yet"

This brings up difficult questions that need to be answered

"What's a substitute for bread and beans,do engines get rewarded for their steam?

Citing UBI has worked in Alaska isn’t a fair comparison. In Alaska people have jobs the reason for UBI is because their won’t be any jobs.

I find is sad that some people can't understand that people don't want to work using their brain 24/7.

Can we get started on rolling out robots in to parliament so the country can get back on its feet and move forward.

Jobless? Sir you need to update your conceptions about what Humans can do...

We need freedom from jobs

Universal income doesn't make people lazy; it's make people to focus on other things; learn grow study

If we can't create new jobs of the future then we failed as humans in an intellectual level and in every level

You know there will also be a need for people to fix all of these machines

I swear its going to be jugement day

We arent headed to a jobless future, we are headed towards a future without jobs for unintelligent people.

We'll be ok for about 30 years because robots need someone to fix them; by then, robots will be economically feasible to fix robots.

im all for universal income as long as it comes out of these corporate monsters pockets

Not all pleasant, not all true.

Robots will be making and repairing other robots.

And watching this you tube video wirelessly just to add to it

Try and have a side hustle if possible.

Robots in coming to Wal-Mart near you.. soon.. lol

In argentina we give a universal basic income to unemployed people, and it makes them lazy, no doubt about it. It should be an emergency patch to a problem, not the definitive solution.

my job sucks please take it robots

Instead of UBI, why not simply progressively reduce private taxes to match the increase in production?

Deloitte and Oxford Uni researched this and concluded 35% of jobs will be impacted in the next 20 years - Great video. If you're interested I've made a short video on how AI will effect engineering jobs

The vice president of the local unions smokes inside at work.... MERICA! uhhh right? 2:55

Time for Universal Basic Income..

4:35 Andrew Yang has the same explanation

I always agreed with UBI. I believe everyone should have some sort of income security and knowing that there house note, and car notes will be paid

I WONDER IF CONSUMERS ARE GONNA BE REPLACED WITH ROBOTS TOO. NOW ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER ARE COUCHES TOO!!

I wonder if future cognitive robots will be like all living things in that their primary motivation is self preservation. If so human extinction is inevitable

I'm too early. *leaves*

One side of ai they don't want to talk about is the dark side of ai going rogue

Andrew Yang 2020.

Currently training to be a pilot... fuck me.

Good because AIs are vegan.

innovation is the sloution

Robert James..more like chappelle

We have 7.5 billion people on the planet right now, and now we have more robots. How are we going to survive?

i've seen this or something similar before

When it's a glitch I don't believe it's ai...that's too convenient.

This is why higher taxes on industrial businesses is very important. You make more and need to hire less so you need to help society more. We are not 200 year ago Americans it's time to morally and socially grow.

What's with the guy playing video games on his phone?

I don't believe in the universal basic income. It's too good to be true. People that actually make that money, will not just give that money away.

We should all become created

I'm a robot

I better not lose a job because some fucking robots.

I see the future humans that were in Wall-E, and we already have mark 1 of Wall-E in this video

The took R jobs! -Southpark

Welcome to age of balt thing

The movie "Automata" was right!!!!! woow

This guy kinda sounds like ashens

It is inevitable, and it is coming to a city near you.

I imagine with the combination of automation and UBI most jobs will move to the financial sector. It would be an investment based economy. Take your base income and if you invest wisely you better you life style. Invest poorly and learn from your mistakes. Try again as you will always be financial secure. I think "Human Made" will become a thing as well. Most likely just a niche market.

I would like to think I am safe as a mechanical engineer. hopefully

This is like my minecraft skyblock

Stopping automation is stupid. Near future of this world is in Universal Basic Income and Universal Basic Services. Only way to keep up with AGI and ASI will be Singularity. In short stop being afraid the future is beautiful where you will enjoy a much happier and healthier life and finally realize the importance of Human life and forget our differences once and for all

It's a fallacy to pretend that productivity creates new jobs. Productivity only destroys jobs, which in some circumstances is a good thing overall. What creates new jobs is R&D and new products. And, it's always been like that with no guarantee that it will remain so.

Oh...humans are phucked!

damn

Wow that's nice amazing 😍

For people interested in this topic, checkout a game called Technobabylon, where one of the main characters gives a great example of potential attitude when born into a society with more socialism and a bit more technology.

2050 will robots take your robot building job away?

Hi 👋

We need fully automated luxury gay space communism

One concern I have regarding UBI is the shift from what we have now; a 'poverty trap', to a 'basic income trap'. How are people going to legitimately get ahead financially when you've already got an entitled elite that has amassed a hoard of capital during the good ol' days of labour exploitation. If we live in a world where everyone gets a set amount with less and less jobs available; it would almost seem like the elite, no matter what, will come out to be the true victors in the end. The wealth and rentiers of the top percent will lavishly live in a life of extreme luxury, have robots do most of their work, while everyone else gets a paltry acknowledgment that they can exist with basics provided. That sounds dystopian rather than utopian from my perspective.

Why do they have a huge, expensive robot to take the pizza off the line, and put it on the oven line? Why would there just not be a conveyor belt to the oven ?? Makes no sense.

if we start replacing all the jobs who will buy it if nobody has an income. And please dont mention the UBI cause that in itself will cause more problems

They doesn't know anything about ML .
