Will The Concept of Jobs Be Obsolete In The Future?

in technology •  7 years ago 

The good thing is that we, as the society, are at least aware of the possible negative impact on our everyday lives by tech innovations and the "smartest minds of the world" are at least bringing the issue up:

Original: Elon Musk: ‘Robots will be able to do everything better than us’

Well, this is what worries the smartest minds of the world, which is why ideas like UBI (Universal Basic Income) have been suggested...

...here: Elon Musk: ‘Robots will take your jobs, government will have to pay your wage’. The UBI was actually not only suggested, but to a degree even implemented. I think this article at Futurism is a good overview, with some case studies and names of some famous UBI proponents.

Elon Mask also proposed a possible solution to the issue by implementing the "regulatory oversight " of Artificial Intelligence development. Do you think this could work? ... and if so, what should the format of such regulations be?

Will we all be living on a subsidy government check and have to do what they say. Doesn't mean everyone will be happy about it. I see it happening with the fast food restaurants trying to use less employees and more robots. we are in the beginning stages of it now.

UBI right now is being tested but is still very limited. I think Finland is leading the charge there. Yes, a regulatory oversight could work but it AI is not bound to a single country. Even if some countries develop these oversights, there might be some that don't and AI could develop unchecked there and then could be spread around the world in its high-tech, world changing form. Just some thoughts off the top of my head.
