Artificial intelligence in workforce
Abstract
Life was difficult in the prehistoric time. Humans depended on the precarious fortunes of Hunting for the survival. This mode of living does not lead to the formation of civilization but it is a means to get there. Then man discovered the art of agriculture, where there is a continued supply of food. With this security of the future, man began to expand his mind and began to embellish his life. Then came the discovery of electricity which has spawned a new revolution in the mode of work similar to agricultural revolution which is the Industrial revolution. The machines began taking the hard labor on the behalf of the man. With this, came the abundance of goods and products. Though industrial revolution increased the goods, it decreased the employment opportunity for many. The labor of the man is not needed anymore where it was needed earlier as machines occupied its place. There is a similar revolution inevitable in the future which may further displace humans from the workforce. It is the Automation era. With automation comes abundance in the order which is not known earlier. The cost of the goods will decrease dramatically. There will be surplus of the goods. But what about the humans and their employment. Will they have a purpose or place in the workforce. This report deals with such practical, scientific and ethical question that needs to be addressed in the automation era.
