AI: Friend or Foe
In the 60 Minutes (Australia) video below, it is suggested that AI (artificial intelligence) and/or robots might eliminate some, if not all jobs that humans currently do.
We've discussed the topic of automation before, when it was discussed that, currently, there is a balance, because some tech jobs are created to support the new automation. But, as they talk about in this video, we could very well reach a point where the lower-skilled jobs are no longer out there - what do we do?
Do we need to "put the breaks on" this technology development? Just stop at a certain point, to preserve what we have now - or steer the development away from areas (such as low-skilled) where jobs might be eliminated?
