Intelligent robots are threat to millions of workers

By progress in artificial intelligence in the near future, robots will be able to do a lot of things and thus will compromise the tens of millions jobs in the next 30 years. According to AFP, "Moshe Vardi" director of the Institute of Information Technology at the "Rice" University, Texas said: "we are getting closer to a time that machines are capable to be almost replace humans in anything. I believe that society must answer the question that if the machines are capable to do almost anything that humans do, so what humans will do? ". "Automation and Robotization" have created a Revolution in the industrial sector during the past 40 years. This increases the productivity but decreases the jobs. "Moshe Vardi" says employment in the manufacturing sector, in the United States peaked in 1980 and since then has been on the decline slope. Wages remained stable among middle-class. Now there are more than 200 thousand industrial robots in the United States and this number is increasing. According to Director of Institute of Information Technology at the "Rice" University-Texas, 10 percent of jobs related to driving in the United States will be removed in the next 25 years due to increased self-driving cars. According to "Bart Salman" the computer science professor at the "Cornell" University," in the next two or three years, automatic or semi-automatic systems will attack into our society". Driverless cars, automatic aircraft for surveillance and trade systems fully automatic, along with home robots and other types of smart assistive devices that decide instead of men are in the list. Are the machines will remain intelligible for humans? Do humans can control the machines? And whether the machines will be beneficial to humans or will become a threat? These are questions and debate that will be asked due to recent advances in robotic technology. Stephen Hawking, the eminent British physicist, in an interview with BBC in 2014 said the full development of artificial intelligence technology could be the end of the human race. He expressed concern about the consequences of creating the technology that is equal with human or greatly surpasses the human. The business tycoons such as "Google", "Facebook", "Microsoft" and "Tesla" are at the head of this group. Also, "Pentagon" has requested $ 19 billion to develop the intelligent weapons systems. These questions have prompted the scientists to call for launch an ethical framework for the development of artificial intelligence in the coming years. Last year the mask - the owner of SpaceX - $ 10 million has allocated for this purpose with this idea that artificial intelligence could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons.
