As society comes to grips with the COVID-19 pandemic we must also begin to prepare ourselves how to adjust to the new norms and opportunities that will begin to present themselves. One of the most intriguing areas that will have increased consideration is the implementation of Artificial Intelligence(AI). Companies have become stagnant to nonexistent because of the absence of humans who have to adhere to ‘stay-at-home’ orders.
Organizations must begin exploring AI as a replacement for humans in certain capacities. Trust me, I’m not saying wipe out every position and completely rely on robotics but I do believe that there is a huge opportunity to minimize a lot of existing manual processes and utilize this technology in order to transition to the forthcoming paradigm shift.
Our world economies have come to a violent stop amidst this pandemic. If we existed in a fully automated world, we could provide humans with a much-needed uninterrupted chain of food supply and healthcare-critical equipment. For instance, machines do not get sick unlike humans and there will never be as many concerns regarding a halt in production.
With the growth of AI-enabled technologies in the future, the roles within the workforce will have to adapt and shift as a result of this revolution along with judgments about consumers and potential consumers which will be made instantaneously.
Unfortunately, there will be a range of current jobs supplanted. Lower-skilled workers will be forced to reallocate to tasks that are non-susceptible to computerization. Although there will be an increase in the unemployment rate, the manual work will reduce as tasks are performed through Artificial Intelligence.
As I stated, I’m not trying to come off reaping doom and gloom for the existing workforce. I would like for us to recognize the opportunities that will be available in the near future. There are still issues that need to be worked out relating to AI but its contributions to worker safety and productivity are undeniable.
Nope, I would never label you a conspiracy theorist. From what I’m gathering is that you challenge what is presented to you and do not take things for face value. The mindset that you have is what is necessary in society. There are far too many that prefer to accept things as they are. That sheep-like behavior is what allows fear to be used as a catalyst for control. Funny, Zeitgeist is on my list of things to ‘circle-back’ to. Its been some time since I watched it but I’m going to make sure I begin tonight. Also, thanks for the link. I will watch it as well.
Call me a conspiracy theorist. But I do believe that all of this is leading up to some sort of grand plan. I don't think that Covit 19 is an accident. Diseases don't move as fast as C19 has in this short of a time. Notice how quickly they got Ebola under control? "They" control what they want and need to how they want and need. I'm saying all that to say that they are making room. If you notice that the more technical and inhabited areas have a higher death count . That count includes the poor/uneducated and elderly. People who won't be able to afford modern technologies and or will not be able to be a productive part…
