In recent years, many analysts predict that robots or automation systems supported by artificial intelligence will take over human work. But the prediction was denied by a venture capitalist Marc Andreessen.
According to him, this kind of fear actually happened long ago. This kind of panic occurs every 25 to 50 years. But nothing really happened.
Andreessen, who helped develop Netscape, said the obsession with robots would replace humans had happened 100 years ago. At that time, humans feared the presence of a car called to replace human workers.
But apparently the car industry has now become one of the fields with the most human workers. Not only that, along with the growing growth of cars, it has also contributed to the development of new jobs in the field of road construction.
The same thing also applies to the development of autonomous cars. Besides being said to offer a safer driving experience, there is a possibility that the technology can actually increase productivity but do not know what kind of form.
He also did not dismiss now that there has been a large investment from a number of technology companies in the field of artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, not all survive, only companies that offer transformation can compete.
The issue of robots that can replace human roles in work has long been predicted. In the annual World Economic Forum meeting, a number of company officials even discussed this issue.
A number of studies also predict robots and artificial intelligence will soon take over human work. The Oxford University study in 2013 estimated that half of the jobs in the United States were threatened by the presence of machines.
While Forrester Research counts at least in 2019, a quarter of the work will be replaced by software robots, physical robots and autonomous systems. By 2025, most of the work will be replaced by models that have never existed before.
