I saw a video on my social media there's a restaurant that using AI and almost 100% automated, I thought it's a new video, but actually it has been around for six months.
If this trend keep continue, what the world would be? many people will become unemployed and not all people can become engineers. Middle class people will become poor as they don't get decent jobs, will we see a big revolution that the poor to clash against the rich?
I'm not sure if this happen in your country or not, but in my country most companies don't want to make their employees become permanent workers anymore, they only want contract workers because the companies don't have to give compensation to fired contract workers.
I understand that permanent workers are just a "myth", but if the companies suffer bad financial and want to reduce the employees, they would fire the contract workers first, so permanent workers are safer.
There's no doubt that AI is making progress, but it seems that the media hypes it up and thinks that it will achieve a lot in a short span of time. It is happening incrementally and it may get faster to develop tech in future, but it still feels like we are decades out from losing a lot of the more manual jobs that currently exist. Even then, you may find that there are still plenty of service type jobs out there because people want to interact and not rely on robotics for everything. In fact we might see more people falling into service type jobs in future as more office type rolls are automated. All this is happening rather slowly, because while the tech companies might be making massive breakthroughs, the implementation is much slower to happen in the real world.
