RE: ADSactly Tech News - Does Increased Access to Technology Increase Societal Inequality?

in #technology7 years ago

In fact, I hadn't even thought about this subject you're talking about, colleague @techblogger. We have to start thinking about what measures we need to take to avoid this conflict between the machines and the workers.

We also have to start thinking a little.... Governments will not be insane to implement these technologies and leave human workers without their jobs.

Like you said here:

"40 per cent of current jobs have a high probability (greater than 0.7) of being computerised or automated"

Forty percent of the jobs... That'll be too many unemployed people. Imagine the disapproval governments would have if this technology were applied in this way....

I will tell you my opinion and the way I believe technology will be adopted in society.

In the next 10 to 15 years as you said, the machines will be implemented. But not to put people out of work. Governments will simply open up time to people so that they can study a university degree or dedicate themselves to a project that is approved, and in the meantime, the government will give them a pension as social security while the person is being prepared. So you can cover your food, rent and savings expenses (as if you were a formal worker).

This will sincerely be the way in which this technology will be adopted... Eliminating inequality and also making it easier for people to study and dedicate themselves to their projects.

The machines do not need salaries.... So I don't think it's wrong to give that money to a human who needs it to move forward. Companies and enterprises would continue to generate the same amount of money, and would also contribute to society. And this, gentlemen, I think it would be fair.

This is my very personal opinion...

Thank you @techblogger for writing about this topic. I thought it was very interesting. In fact, as I told you at the beginning, I hadn't even thought about it.

Greetings @adsactly and @techblogger! :)

I agree. The chance that we will see increased unemployment in our lifetimes is a statistical certainty. Will the rich have an even greater advantage over the poor due to new advancements in technology and the fact they will have access to it first. Yes.

That is correct.... Unfortunately, that will be the case. There will always be money as first interest.
