Raw LLM Responses

Artificial Intelligence ROBOTS Will Make Human-Labor REDUNDANT IF the current trend of Technological advancement in AI (Deep-Learning etc.) field continues at such an exponential rate that we are witnessing today, almost all of the well-paid professional White-Collar jobs, which require high intellectual skills of the human brain will become easily replaceable with lower cost, as early as the year 2020. Nevertheless, those people need not worry, most of their employments retained, not because of new job opportunities will be created but mainly because of the corporate capitalist strategic and political reasons especially to prevent mass retrenchment revolt and to buy the AI’s acceptance in the society. The professionals will be kept as supervisors to the AI machines. However the industry will not need so many of them, these people will be offered long and well paid vacations etc., to keep everyone happy and satisfied. Similarly in a way, most of the Blue-Collar jobs will remain stagnant in the employment market, not because the AI Robots cannot replace them but simply because the entrepreneurs/employers will find that the manual workers are cheaper than employing Robots. Same will happen with the low-paid White-Collar jobs, like clerks, sales person etc. By the way, more people will be lifted out of their poverty lines. The middle-class numbers swell out of proportion. As the result of the overall Technological progress, that includes Bio, Nano, renewable energy etc., the productivity of the key goods and services industry tremendously increase. There will be plenty to everyone. The average middle-class families very much afford to buy all their needs, comforts, even luxuries as it will remain well within their reach. The businessmen corporate houses, conglomerates get super wealthy that they try to buy and control everything including the world Governments, public opinion. They have already established total control over the Mass Media. Cables, Satellites, particularly in the entertainment industry. Movies, Sitcoms, Sports, Gaming, Augmented, Virtual-Realities. It will keep the majority population totally preoccupied, captivated and thoroughly brainwashed. However, there will be a marked increase in the TERROR ATTACKS or incidents. The news media totally geared to hype the news and keep it at the top on their agenda, constantly preaching people about the virtues of Democracy peoples voting power against the authoritarian dictatorship, the communist. It will keep on diverting people’s attention from the real social issues about the great dangers, challenges that the present society, working/middle class and their children are facing, at this historical juncture. Along with the steady world economic, GDP growth, there will be widening income gap between the shrinking minority rich and the growing majority middle class. Disparity in wealth and income distribution will be far greater than anything seen in the past human history. However, people calling for redistribution of wealth, working-class unity will be shunned as a socialist or communist propaganda to be ridiculed and socially ostracized. The Marxian “labor-power” is already stripped out of all its past glory and historical significance. As hinted before, the middle-class people will be employed mainly for the sake of providing them employment and the payment. The productivity of all these sectors will be deliberately kept low by the Government policies to maintain the overall low paying jobs market afloat. The value of the human labor will get more and more unproductive, retained mainly for its employment value. People getting payment without employment stigmatized, as the unemployment-benefit a burden on tax payers. People will be constantly bombarded with the virtues of entrepreneurship, asked to train themselves into new job to avoid getting unemployed and becoming idle saying it will be a breeding ground for all kinds of evil. Let me go back to the starting headlines of this paper. Today’s raging debate among AI, social scientists and other professional community including the social media that some extraordinary advancement taking place in the AI technology particularly the introduction Deep-learning etc., kind of robots entering in all employment sectors. People who oppose it claim that this AI technology rapidly going to replace the well paid professional White-Collar jobs and threatens almost every jobs. It will result in mass unemployment unprecedented in the past human history. Therefor argue that the Government regulate this technology, stall its progress, if not to ban it. On the other hand, the supporters of the AI claim that, like in the past industrial history, it will create new jobs. Therefore people need not fear, neither call to regulate the AI advancement, in any such way. I find both their argument quite naive and misleading as they both lack the historical perspective. Of course, the fear of the people, about the advancement of the AI Robots, rapidly replacing the professional high intelligent brain skill jobs quite genuine. However they, completely forget, history has proven again and again that one cannot stop the development of technology if the society wants to progress into the future. On the other hand, people vociferously deny the fact that the advanced AI rendering the human labor redundant, completely lack the new future vision. Instead, they ardently argue like the old way that the coming industry will create new jobs replacing the old ones, like in the past history. In my humble opinion, the former camp in the “panic-mode” and the latter in a “denial-mode” about the AI impact on the future human labor, employment and society the as a whole. They completely fail to see in the light of these technological developments making the human-labor redundant, in the goods, services and employment market that there is a great need to establish a new kind of socio-economic-political system in the coming future that ensures, equal payment or income distribution for all people without them having the compulsion of labor in order to earn it. People who still like work in the social production (goods and services etc) can do so but it will not have any bearing on their income. My book captioned “An ALTERNATIVE to Marxian Scientific Socialism – The Theory Reduction in Working Hours - A Demand 6 Hour Working Day”; was published in the year 1981. It provides the historical perspective of the working class which has transformed into today’s emerging majority middle class who have no means of production of their own. The historical mission of the RWH theory is; a gradual reduction or working hours/days that finally should lead to zero or EXTINCTION of the working day. In essence, complete abolition of the compulsion of labor on the people in order to obtain their livelihood. Equal distribution of the wealth, resource and income to all.
