Have you lost your job or experienced downsizing due to new automations etc at work?. Share your experience.

It is estimated that between 35 and 50 percent of jobs that exist today are at risk of being lost to automation. Repetitive, blue collar type jobs might be first, but even professionals — including paralegals, diagnosticians, and customer service representatives — will be at risk.

This isn’t just science fiction, it’s happening now. Manufacturing are the first places we see robots and automation eliminating human jobs, but it’s hard to think of an industry that will be left unaffected as robots and AI become more affordable and widespread.

Rather than fight this advancement and wring our hands over the robots “stealing” our jobs, maybe it’s time to envision a jobless future.

Most people are in jobs they don’t particularly enjoy, with lots of mundane and repetitive tasks. Is it not our obligation to pass those jobs to machines?

What would a jobless future look like?

All these technological advances that we are creating today — big data, artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things — represent a significant challenge to capitalism.

Staying relevant is key to your career success and domination in your field. This is what separate you from those who are caught in the storm unawares and those that are prepared for automation.

The more we automate and systematize, the more we see jobless growth and productivity. Taken to its logical extremes, we have a paradox of an exponentially growing number of products, manufactured more and more efficiently, but with rising unemployment and underemployment, falling real wages and stagnant living standards.

In other words, more products produced more cheaply and efficiently — but no one able to afford to buy them.

In fact, it’s already begun.

The rate of technological progress and worker productivity is on the rise, but wages are stagnating, factories are eliminating jobs, and researchers estimate that anywhere between 35 and 50 percent of jobs that exist now are in danger of being lost to automation.

But what if the prognosis weren’t all doom and gloom? What if all this automation were instead to provide so much luxury that we enter a post-work era, when humans are required to do very little labor and machines provide everything we need?

Fully Automated Luxury Communism describes an idea and ideology that in the (relatively near) future, machines could provide for all our basic needs. Humans would be required to do very little work on quality control and similar oversight, and have much of their time free to pursue other things. The result would be attainable luxury for everyone.

Robots, AI, machine learning, big data, etc. could make human labor redundant instead of creating even further inequalities. It could lead to a society where everyone lives in luxury and where machines produce everything while humans are free to pursue the creative explorations that robots and machines are incapable of: science, art, music, poetry, invention, and exploration.

1. Social media.
2. Whatsapp about to launch a targeted marketing platform.
3. There are a host of automated marketing tools now.
4. Other media/ marketing platforms too.

Of course these automations will not take over marketing totally but it will greatly reduce the need for human marketers.

As robots prepare to take on our jobs, they should also prepare to pay us for staying at home doing nothing. Now that's paradise on earth

The shouldn't forget to invent the one used their robot end product, like edible products, marketing, source for materials doing factually everything including eating..

What would be the cost of maintaining these robots as compared to human efforts? No matter what there are things that could be done better by humans which these robots would not do. My opinion though.

falz the badt guy

That is the ultimate aim of Man, reduce the population using (wars, engineered viruses, Chemical Weapon, Nuclear weapon etc) then less than one million humans will live in a beautiful green world with AI doing all the work, while they just sit and watch.

We no want!

yes..this is very true..the other day I was at a shopping mall..and you can check out your good yourself by just putting it under a scanner and using your debit card..eliminating the need for human assistance.. if you don't pay up before leaving the mall..an alarm will sound..trust me you don't want that to happen because it very embarrassing

I hope those marketing tools can trek into markets to advertise to those old women there too

Hope they take up teaching job too. Rubbish

Not that my job was taken but one could definitely foreshadow it. E.g There's all manner of machines for lab tests nowadays, I wonder how many scientists will have jobs in the future.

Oh really??.... True talk... True talk...

That's mad AI there, still thinking how the barcodes could be processed 100 pct without errors. Nice one there, if that machine is mass produced, shopping malls worldwide will lay off sales persons, that means millions of people out of work.
