“In the 1980s, 8.2% of the US workforce were employed in new technologies introduced in that decade,” he notes. “By the 1990s, it was 4.2%. For the 2000s, our estimate is that it’s just 0.5%. That tells me that, on the one hand, the potential for automation is expanding – but also that technology doesn’t create that many new jobs now compared to the past.”

This worries Chace. “There will be people who own the AI, and therefore own everything else,” he says. “Which means homo sapiens will be split into a handful of ‘gods’, and then the rest of us.

“I think our best hope going forward is figuring out how to live in an economy of radical abundance, where machines do all the work, and we basically play.”

A small robot rides a bike like a boss. Probable in the future the little robot will try to participate in the Tour de France 😊

Very interesting discussion on an issue that is relevant in the manufacturing area. The MIT article is worth reading.

MIT's technology review had an article this week, will robots create new jobs when they take over existing ones. The answer to that question is a full on an emphatic no. The robot shown below is named Baxter, manufactured by rethink robotics. Baxter is a human safe robot that moves at slow speed so as to not injure humans. Baxter is programmable by showing him objects and what needs to be done with those objects. No programming is required.

Given the CAD files, software, hardware, and wiring diagrams of Baxter he can be redesigned so that he can manufactured copies of himself. With the ability to download and upload manufacturing processes from one robot to another, it would allow you to train a single robot, then  transfer that knowledge to robots on other assembly lines doing the same job.
