- Robots and machines could soon replace humans in the workplace as artificial intelligence improves. Imagine having colleagues controlled by computers. Part 2: • Will robots steal our ...
Society is facing radical changes. Industry 4.0 - the fourth industrial revolution - is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. Artificial intelligence is constantly gaining ground.
The digital era and the Internet are not just changing industrial production processes. An increasing number of jobless people are facing stiff competition from intelligent machines. One software company owner in the US even says the machines are better designed to do most jobs than people are. And that isn’t just restricted to the car industry. Workers cost money and employers are out to minimize labor costs.
What will that mean? Soon there could be more intelligent robots and machines than humans and they could soon be replacing people in the workplace. Industry 4.0 poses a great challenge to the world as we know it and millions of people could lose out in the process. Find out more in 'Robitics - Impacting the Workplace'.

What do you think will happen to crime rates, peace and equality in general after we launch a livable min wage, universal healthcare, a universal basic income, universal education and internet for all, raising the starting point of capitalism from zero, we'll let you die with no money, to a level of life with dignity, reducing societal daily fears on a massive scale and freeing us to welcome the automation revolution with open arms rather than with fear and great harm? 😃 #EqualityMovement #BLM
Call me overly positive, but I think we’re leaving the era of ‘greed is good’ and celebrating wealth and entering an #EraOfAltruism and equality. Let’s #AutomateEverything and #SkipToAbundance.
No
The double-edged sword that is technology
Wow, do you have more cliche sentences for sale? Don't quit your day job.
@@MrSvenovitch - I thought it was a very good statement! Yours on the other hand .........
Hell. Even the Fisherman can lose his Job to A.I. Self driving boats that catch fish..
Robots don't need to eat, why bother fishing. If we don't have any money how do we buy fish, or any product produced by robots. I guess the answer is in the Georgia Guide Stones.
at thle rate we are going there will be no fish left in our oceans to fish
Worse the fish in the not so distant future is cloned 🐟 you are about to have to scan your meat to find out if it's real or not.
Not can, certainly will. Socialism has to rise again
I love love love the music in this video. DW channel is so underrated, you deserved more subscribers!!! ❤
When no one has a job, people will start fighting. I guarantee you, people will not take kindly to losing their ability to care for themselves or their families.
People will always have jobs, we need to maintain, program, control and power the robots
They will be introducing a universal basic income for people who are unable to find work because of industry 4.0 in developed nations.
Well dont worry if that thing of the corona its a plandemi than the cays issue is solved
It's all about greed. Pay less workers save more money. The problem is, when nobody is working, nobody last buying their product.
Jason Gooden Companies become extremely irrational when their main focus becomes increasing profits and minimizing costs. It is called the irrationally of hyperrationality. Nobody in a C class position thinks of this until it becomes a problem. If robots were to be deployed universally at once, the entire word economy would collapse
⚂ indeed, it is amazing to see how shortsighted these corporate "strategists" are
Greed is just an emotion, a means to ends. If robots surpass humans then they will determine the meaning of value and redefine the economy.
@@darthB2A31 just to keep people under control
Who will program the robots? Who will maintain the robots? Who will work with people in jobs that people want?
The problem is not jobs its sharing wealth.
You can have your share if you are willing and smart enough to get it. The lazy always talk about sharing some one else's wealth that they have worked for. Why not get your own? Why do you always want that of others.
No, the problem is communists thinking wealth should be forcibly shared.
Wealth belongs to those who deserve it.
Wealth is a representation of excess resources beyond what is needed to survive.
How will you gain wealth without the ability to trade your labor to the oligarchs for resources?
You can't. You will freeze, starve or die of disease.
@@chetgravatt9562 Robots and robotics is proving money is an illusion. Never needed it, soon we won't again. People are smart enough to know once robots go full force in the work force, everything will be free. Free to use in accordance to what you already have. I can't wait until we have full space travel and going elsewhere is also free.
That's very simple really, just give what robots earn/would earn to unemployed.
Joe Schoendorf was so accurate when it came to the automotive industry being disrupted in the next decade and we still have 6 years to go.
Humans learn from their mistakes then end up making even bigger mistakes.
Spot on! I wiil tough reformulate it by saying that people rarely learn from their own mistake and when they do think they learn something, the lesson will be misundesrstood and result in making even bigger mistakes.
Biggest question, "if robots takes our jobs, the WHO will buy the products that these robots are producing?"
1 , Free stuff replacement of items at no fee real recycling ! .
2 , Free money for all ! basic living paid we have a form it now call job centre money ! old world thinking gone ! .or no real money in the world wouldn't need it
Lol they can't even put into place stuff they already have the costs are
to high for most people to much work to put into place and no balance
not enough worker ? everything is costing more not less atm from these
kinds of people running stuff .
How many cars and vans more items to and some people can't even buy at
the prices they are up for no housing ! .
Robots. And then we take taxes from robots. And then they kill us because they don't want pay taxes.
Kevin Warburton
Equal Amount
The Robots will l Buy them
JFC, RU really that naive?
It's never been about producing stuff for profit.
It's been about creating a reality for the owners of production that doesn't involve cost, cost comes from human labor.
Robots are free labor.
If they don't need our labor, they no longer need to produce shit to sell to you.
They simply produce enough for themselves.
And YOU are left to starve or freeze.
Great job DW😍 it was an important episode😍thanks a lot⚘🌷
Having worked in retail I would love to see robots take over. With a few exceptions, people are nasty with deplorable manners so let them deal with robots and if they complain then let them remember how they treated human workers in the past.
Marcus Aurelius I worked in retail too and I approve your comment. It was the worst job I ever had.
Agreed. Retail is hell. #KarenIsABitch
No ones gonna let robots work with customers
That’s not true ^
Exactly ! I share your opinion. Because we going to laugh at end. I don't care even if they successed robots to overtake jobs. Because we humans can always build communities and help each other. We don't need corrupt criminal governments nor we do depend on them.
If robots do all work who is going to buy things made by robots when people don't have jobs and salary
Maybe the bankers can persuade or program the robots to take on loans to buy the things...
Info Illness 😂😂👌epic
Whose going to pay the taxes?
Tyrone - they are going to run the state down to zero - we are heading back to a robotic Wild West...
Well that will be a good time to get rid of the capitalist middleman as will no longer be necessary. Production can be owned collectively by the people.
Will robots steal our jobs? it's not the question of if. is a question of when as they're already being in use.
SpeedWolf I think there want be any jobs left, like self checkout taking over.
robotics are not evil or good , they are a tool and like a hammer all tools can be used to build a house or bash someone's skull in
collapsing to a pre-robot era seems near impossible because they would dwarf our intelligence
take softbank as an example , they bought off ARM, (the guys behind mobile processors)boston dynamics, etc. and a few moths ago they parthenered with tech gians such as aple and raised 100billion$ to have an A.I. with an IQ of 10.000 by 2047
in other words in 2047 there will be a robot that weill be smarter than you at the same extent that you are smarter than the averadge housecat. and this is but one of many projects out there with such goals because through A.I. of that scale you could either digitize a brain or design nanites to convert it and extend human life indefinately
the solution is to redesign society
if humans are no longer needed to work then everything should become afree and capitalism should be replaces with a resource based economy of shared luxury
When you say steal all your jobs... do you mean ALL your jobs (police, layers, doctors, teachers programmers)????
I Prefer a different question. When will the governments and political elites promise consumer incomes that will replace our lost wages? There is no capitalism without sales. Are the corporates who have made the investments in the robots prepared for governments who now impoverish their citizens to the extent where they are no use to either corporate nor consumer in the light that we have our own fiat currency that must only keep currency value in keeping with other nations clearly.
SpeedWolf says:
"Will robots steal our jobs? it's not the question of if. is a question of when as they're already being in use."
==
No workers.
No wages.
No consumption.
Pretty much that spells end of the economy.
One of the goal of capitalism is to minimize the labor cost as much as possible.
Fewer labor(or no labor at all) means no consumption, at least in the way the current economy works.
Economists have been pointing this out for a long time but the capitalists didn't listen.
Consumption dies and soon the all the industries die out.
Aiming for more profit by cutting the labor cost and ends up in no profit at all.
Don't you know that the capitalism is a self destructive institution?
Having the music from Fantasia's famous Sorcerer's Apprentice at the start is one of the best things I've seen/heard recently, great mirroring for a robot documentary
I was wowed by the cold way she said all these jobs are gone like Hitler saying all these people are no longer necessary.
I always assumed some jobs could never be robotic. ...such as picking fruit from say an apple tree because each tree was different and the placement of apples and the ripeness of the fruit was always different. I WAS WRONG They have a machine that picks fruit accurately with the fruit ripeness judged by the color and can outpick 7 pickers with less damage to the fruit running around in the orchards. That also applies to other fruits as well. Scary, what job is safe? Maybe robot "Crusher"( well , at least it is satisfying)
No job is safe ai will take all jobs and governments. So when it comes to war or technology. Ai a Super intelligence wins. I don't want to do nothing.It's not appealing to at all. Tb
Great content... Industry 4.0 will revolutionise many things in our generation. Keep doing about this topic
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍
The difference between this "industrial revolution" and the others is the jobs were already created in the past, they just had to entice farm boys to the city with a steady living wage. Today for every 100 jobs that are automated, 1 is created.
The "jobs" will transition into creative work. Thats why technical and organizational skills are becoming a priority over trade skills (and by trade I dont mean just blue collar, I mean professions where you do roughly the same task again and again, like accounting, surgery, etc)
Plus we're just gonna give the robots the jobs no one wants to do, like working with shit
These people are making technology look much more advanced than it really is.
This is intriguing
this is incredibly depressing...
why? if robots do everything, everything will be for free, because robots are not greedy
machines are here to free people
why did we invent windmills?
a windmill is basically a house that produces flour
there are rotating blades that make the machinery work
if we remove the rotating blades, then, 40 men will have to work and suffer the entire day
but thanks to the rotating blades, these 40 men are free
@@makelebanon1 😂😂😂 naive
Don't hate the machines or fear the machines. Become the machines.
In the long run I think this is the best solution. If we don't wish to embrace obsolescence then we are going to have to become machines ourselves.

Interesting video.
Will robots steal our jobs? is an astonishing documentary! I truly did appreciate it so much. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep it up!
Having robots to assist / care for humans is a good concept. However, by removing to much of the human work force, companies will begin to lose revenue due to lack of paying consumers. The human population eventually will be non-working; with little or no income. Governments and corporations need to take this into account.
Maybe new kinds of jobs is the solution, or a society based on Universal Basic Income.
I agree with you. However, humans have the option to demand products made and sold by humans. Supply and demand will prevail if businesses are to survive. Think about how companies are scrambling to provide green products as a result of customers shift in choices. Tech will only go as far as we let it go. There’s hope for humanity, I would like to believe 😀✌️
Companies don't think further ahead than the next financial quarter. What we're going to see is an arms race - the first companies to embrace automation will become exponentially more productive and outcompete those that are slower to adopt new technologies.
@@iam-224 - When I look at how Amazon has already greatly reduced retail and human interactive shopping - putting sales people out of work all over the place.........
DW-Documents are the best!
19:42 - 20:15 Classical "Yes Man" LOL!
Due to the automatization employees going to become poorer and business owners will become richer. The gap between poor and rich going to expand even more.
I prefer the self check-out at the grocery store though, instead of having to interact with those sometimes surly cashiers.
Because most of them are teenagers who really don’t care about anything. But i hear you :)
Just as a plane flying a single degree off course can end up hundreds of miles from its target and potentially crash, without dedicated effort and oversight, Artificial Intelligence (AI) could take us somewhere we’d prefer to avoid.
Human beings are already on a trajectory towards extinction. I'm sure AI can't do much worse than we have already.
Starts out like a classic play that’s great lol
I think that all jobs that will be replaced by robots in the near future are not necessary for people to do anyways. There will be huge new industries related to the technologies around them that will employ them in more fulfilling ways. Basically an upgrade in what kind of jobs humans have to do.
We are so intelligent we have engineered our own demise.
Barry Hughes - Literally in everyway: war technology and high performance machinery and computers. So, if we get out of hand angry over decreased life quality due to lack of employment, they can just nuke us using chemical or bio warfare to reduce the population.
intelligence and stupidity are human traits. don't confuse one with another
No Barry, we think of ourselves as intelligent but in fact we are too dumb to realise that by employing machines we are digging our own grave.
@Gabriel Sampaio So, you mean we can create Albert Einsteins, Nobel Laureates in Quantum Physics, String Theory...

Watching the history of mankind is like watching a movie that never ends.
a horror movie that never ends.
Oh, the movie WILL end. Considering what we are doing to our atmosphere, it will end pretty damned soon.
The better question is, as Steve Hawking put it, who gets to own these robots?
I am of the opinion that there will be a tranche of supervisory jobs to ensure robots and automation is working properly and troubleshooting when it goes wrong. Basically, humans will cease to do labouring jobs in favour of supervisory jobs instead. This will allow more people to further their education, work better hours and in better conditions.
I wish a robot was doing my job in the oilfield when I was crushed by 50,000 pounds. Look up man crushed by 50,000 pounds.
If you pay me 1000 gold bars I still won't look it up. How can you be typing anything after being crushed?
@@MrSvenovitch He is real looooord.
Too many human interest segments where they gush about how a few outlier individuals are thriving in industry 4.0 and not enough about how the masses will cope.
I used to make glass pipes in Santa Cruz, California USA. I would get really stoned like really really and ride the bus over to San Francisco to check out China Town! I had been studying Economics and Agricultural Ecology at the University but dropped out to make custom glass for the market and practice martial arts full time. I practice Silat, Escrima, Tai Chi and Bagua. I have been practicing stick a lot on the front porch for people to see! Kids love sticks. Elderly love my soft approach with Tai Chi. I combine and separate different martial arts as I practice and run numerous experiments concurrently. My blood pressure is already up since there is a hornet nest by the porch.. I am waiting for the exterminator. Soft and slow meditative practice lowers my blood pressure about 20 points! It is very helpful for children who are hyper and want to get busy. It is so important I consider it essential!
Yes, next!
"DEY TOOK OUR JOOOOBS!!!!!" -Randy Marsh
It would be wonderful if this advance would help humanity as a whole
but unfortunately it only helps those 1℅ of this population
it will certainly not end well...
Why wouldn't it end well what can we do to the armies?
They better give a UBI or their wont be anyone to buy the products
It is amazing to how fast this happening and just how many 'human' jobs are/and could be impacted. I thought about the auto industry and how robots/ia could build vehicles as demand actually dictates vs. just turning out millions that might not even be sold. a way to cut un-needed production of consumerism goods
They are not thinking about one thing. Yes they can build robots or androids that can do anything that humans can do better and faster. But all of this production is only to supply consumers and robots have no need to consume things.
Good it means capitalism will become unnecessary.

Yes . In the same way that your toaster has 'stolen' your need to toast bread over a fire on a stick .
Let's suppose the real theme is not in fact turning machines into humans but turning Humans into symbiotic robot machines
I seriously hope that invention of robots will not backfire on us like it has in many books, movies, comics etc. I do hope that robots will not replace humans. But it depends which job. If it is a job that is dangerous for health and life then maybe it won't be such a bad thing. But it depends on the industry. Some jobs can never be robotic.
Like social workes. Never will be robotic
@@sandralison7584 i if a robot can replace a sex worker, it can replace a social worker.
Who will buy the products these robots are producing? Where will consumers get the money to live?
UBI funded by CGT/FTT/Higher flat tax rate or higher progressive taxation on top 10% people.
+kuri.
1) Basic income does NOT remove the need for jobs. that is the "basic" part of UBI. In other words, the "solution" wont solve anything because the primary part of UBI is that you still work! Just that you dont earn as much via your job. There wont be part time jobs when robots even replace the corner kebab shop.
2) Ether you have flat tax or you have a more fair progressive tax system. Where the taxation starts, in regards to income that is, doesnt matter. If taxation starts at 50 000$US for example. Doesnt mean that the system is "flat" under that limit. It just means that the progressive taxation starts at 50k.
Its incorrect to speak of money as some given resource, "where will we get money?"
money is systemic medium that was created by men and is in constant change,
money is someone allowing you to participate in the economy.
Imagine a completely automated process of creating something that requires no human time or effort, it is essentially free then..In such case, we will have to represent the amount of the product available against the number of consumers to estimate CONSUMPTION ALLOWANCE, thats kind of a new "currency"
You will have all you want, just ask any Democrat leftist socialist liberal like Hillary Clinton, Maxine Waters, Corey Booker they will tell you.
Most consumers will be terminated on judgement day.
If more people could move past the idea of having to work for a living then we could say good riddance to any jobs that suck, which is the overwhelming majority of them. Instead we could have robots do all of the shitty work and support us so that we can do almost anything we want within the limits of cost and legality.
Will I surprise you if I tell you that you are actually supposed to work 3-4 times less hours as supposed to? Well you shouldnt be! The main reason behind this phenomenon, is called "Planned Obsolescence". Planned Obsolescence is a multiple versions of planned product expiration! From the manufactured parts to break at certain time, the fashion forcing someone to buy the lates one, to apple's software forcing the user to actually buy a new device by forced shutdown(Still healthy and usable!). Did I forgot to mention the intentional destruction of products which cannot be engineered to last for certain time, or produced at certain amount? "Food" is one of those. Yes, food is being destroyed to reach certain supply vs demand.
I could give you hundreds more information of how capitalism operates! I think you had enough info so far to get the idea.
So, how do you feel about this? Do you still think you will get less work hours?
There is a psychological pride in work. Why do you think unemployed people get depressed....
@@LanielPhoto It's not the lack of a job. It's the lack of money to do what they actually want to do.
There is also no reason to take pride in having to do all of the miserable, menial tasks that the managers delegate to others. The conditions at jobs are oppressive and stifling. They're usually toxic too.
In regard of ALL manufacturing, won't all of that be done by in home 3D printers?.
the music is sampled from massive attack
Everyone will have robot(s). And we will all be programmers sending our robots to work every morning ...lol
Who's joining me on our rebellion
The description says that Robots may soon replace human jobs yet they already have and it’s nothing new, but it will be on a massive scale soon
This seems to me like you translated a german documentary 1:1. Where is it? What is it's title? Please attribute.
Robots have already taken over, ever watch the show “HOW IT’s made?” Its all machines and little to none human input.
I love that show.
Ibnziyad Tariq ik its amazing. This is how labor should be done, all machine. So people can pursue their goals.
a Robot is welcome to my job as long as you sort out a UBI , I'm cool with this.

OMG IRL CYLONS
haha gut gemacht :))
NO,
Robots don't go to your boss & agree to do your job cheaper
& more efficiently. That's a given. Your boss will decide to
replace you with a machine. It is happening as we speak.
Its not if. Its when.

Robots are not stealing anything - they are incapable of it. The owners of the robots are not stealing either - they are replacing a resource they cannot control fully with a resource they can - such humanity for what? - PROFIT of course - the most inhuman of objectives.
Xipo86 sweet and don't be surprised when the unwashed and and technologically unemployable masses eat you and your family because of muh job got stolen!
As if anyone wants to be a gear in a machine, "STEALING" our jobs sounds like a desperate slave that knows nothing but serving a system.
Theoretically all of society can be automated, they just cant implement it now because it will completely ruin the current monetary system, you need people to produce/ consume via money, otherwise a new system will be necessary.. Now it could be great to liberate everyone to enjoy the fruits of automation, but 7 billion and rising is too much to raise to a modern western standard.
You know, your views are a little bit black and white and can be used against the invention of the wheel as well, or anything else you dont like for that sake...
"The owners of are not stealing either - they are replacing a resource they cannot control fully with a resource they can - such humanity for what? - PROFIT of course - the most inhuman of objectives."
Oi
To the contrary . Profit - the most human of objectives.
Friends, no matter how powerful artificial intelligence is, it remains an imitation machine with all the algorithms and potentials. When we lift heavy loads with a crane, we carry heavy loads with ships, trains, trucks, do they surpass man? It's the same with supercomputers. How the artificial intelligence will manifest itself in the computer, the production robot, the human robot or a military machine depends on the qualities invested by the operator who programmed the machine. If humanity still lives with military ambitions, for production or is morally corrupt, the actions of artificial intelligence will also depend, but it will forever remain a machine without heart, mind, will, soul and spirit. Those who want to make man an addition to artificial intelligence would be the same to turn man into an animal. If I am wrong in the statement, write comments
.
When technology precedes moral principles, there is an abuse of knowledge, power, and then comes the crisis of natural evolution, which can end with the liquidation of the arrogant civilization. So we humans need to be aware of where we are going: down to the abyss or the difficult path of humanism and respect for the life of every living being (including man) and in harmony with a reasonable program of development. Everything that is given to man is a gift from the Great Architect of the Universe, and when someone says it is mine, he can soon learn his lesson through falling and suffering.As each cell or organ performs its service to the whole organism, so each of us is a part of the Cosmic Man to whom we must contribute. Otherwise, if each of us is not interested in other people, this will happen to him, as happens when the leaf falls off the tree.

What a load of nonsense.
I watch the whole documentary AND YES... YES THEY WILL
It is essential that humans programming robots investigate available ways like LBD to self improve their thinking using ethics.
talking points... not in any particular order.
the notion that machines are more 'efficient' than humans is nonsense. It's the result of poor thinking in an environment where only monetary cost (cost-efficiency) in relation to the amount of production is considered - yet money is not a real thing. It is a human construct designed to oil the wheels of exchange.
Machines produce more per hour than a human can. But what happens when there is more than enough production to meet need or even demand (there is, already, in the parts of the economy where there is mass-production for mass consumption - look at the over-produced cars unsold and rotting in parking lots alongside rail sidings all over the world). The machines have often already become redundant themselves but the current system demands they continue to produce.
The problem is that our current structures dictate that the only way to earn more is to produce more. Even if the output isn't needed. Huge amounts of energy and material are consumed, then the products are left to decay and waste.
We throw away 40% of the food we produce, after having spent a huge amount of energy to produce it, and transport it, and keep it cool and stop it decaying. That is, there's already overproduction of food. We waste the energy used - and then it's left to rot, put back into the soil eventually. The current arrangements encourage this, in fact demand it.
People are real things.
Energy is a real thing. Materials are real things.
All we have is people (human effort), materials from the earth, and Energy.
A car-making factory robot consumes on the order of 30 to 300 kWh of energy per day, and over-produces cars. We overproduce steel to meet the need of the car factory owners to overproduce cars (and it is a _need_ , not optional - they have little choice if they want to stay in business within the current system). The entire system is set up to overproduce, and then to waste the product.
A human produces one tenth as much or less, than a machine, but runs on 100W (0.1kW) of power for his own body's immediate requirements (~2000 kcal/day or 2.4 kWh per day), and maybe - in aggregate over the world - requires a total of 5 times that (12kWh per day) to sustain his total lifestyle (his need for the building and maintenance of a place to live, and warmth and lighting, manufactures like clothing and gadgets for entertaining him, and power for his appliances). [these figures are probably not accurate - just ballpark estimates].
In energy terms, people are far cheaper than machines, and they don't mind having free time (stopping production when enough has been made), unlike machines and their owners.
Would it not be better to produce a system that sustains the needs of people rather than the needs of a system of overproduction and waste? Keep the current arrangements, and machines and automation will only make things worse. Idle people are unfulfilled, sad, depressed, and ultimately crazy and dangerous.
I see you are in with the things of how capitalism works. I am impressed to see someone who sees things with open eyes. The way you present the things is way too scary and serious for the casual reader!
You did forgot to mention the most prestigious invention of Capitalism - Planned Obsolescence. The next of all the reasons you mentioned of why we still work so long 8 hours with all those new techs invented AND actually applied today.
Just like Jacque Fresco said for the The Great Depression from his memories - "The resources needed were in the shops, but no one could afford them. The rules of the game were invalid."
+Hamilton. *While you have some valid points. Others are not as valid, for example your anecdotal example of cars.*
You see, the higher the production number, regardless of humans being involved or not, lowers the production cost of the car or what is called Stock Keeping Unit (SKU). Something that is produced and also take up physical space. If you lower the production, you increase the SKU cost, which ether affects downstream price or profit.
A secondary aspect to this is that you need to project your marked because, ironically and dualistically, a wrong projection ether way can cost you, big time. Because if you project too low. You wont just increase the SKU cost, but you will also lose sales and see a group of consumers pick another car manufacturer. In studies on Out Of Stock (OOS) it has shown that up to ca 70% of consumers will pick another product or similar rather than wait for that product to come back into stock again. While granted, its allot lower for longer lasting products that are pre planned, like a car. They are as well affected if they have to wait too long. Lastly, you have other aspects regarding this that is allot newer. Which is that lead time (time it takes a product to get to marked) has become shorter, while expiration date. Not to be confused with foods alone, but also physical products in regards to fashion or "hipness", new tech vs old etc have become shorter. Meaning that if something is produced far away overseas. It might be more economical to produce in larger batches fast and have them sit in a central regional storage for some time. Than ordering them "one/few at the time" or similar.
Obviously if you project the wrong way, your product isnt liked or you are late to marked with a trending product line. Then you will lose money on that end as well, but some times that aspect is taken into account. As in they produce 110% of projected need, but balance the price for 100% of units sold. If every unit is sold, they suddenly make allot more profits than project for that batch, if not. No "real" loss ether.
Then you have external costs which can be power, raw materials, oil (transport cost) and so on that can ether affect or effect a products end cost and thereby profit margin or competitive edge. Which can insensitive a higher production on one batch over another or be taken into seasonal account on higher, lower production basis within the year.
There is a balance to everything, but just because you see cars being stocked up doesnt mean they are doing so at a macro level unwise calculation. Even if some car product fail. Most often its very sane Supply Chain Management (SCM) behind the seemingly "madness".
In the future though you will most likely see all car manufacturing being something called "push" to semi constructed framework of a car/s ( /s = more than a single car type or product), were these "half cars" sit in storage until a order comes and the final aspect of outer finish, coloring and such is a "pull" production based on confirmed demand, aka a order for the car. In turn, these cars being sent out in batched on a monthly or similar bases. Thereby lowering cost based on several aspects of newer SCM.
ok now do the video ....that was coherent and a new perspective...present it!....you have no idea how uncertain the world is feeling, (saying this from 4 different geopraphic perspectives)
I say we let the robots do all the work & earn all the money! Then tax robots with a 99% income tax to fund/provide universal basic income so we can do “work” that gives personal meaning/fulfillment instead of working just to survive.
Yeah, Corporate just LOVES your egalitarian ideas....
Ok, Yang
The idea of modernizing production is great...how do people live when they do not have money earned from working...it doesn't take a genius to question this circumstance...in the previous eras this was corrected ..will we have the wisdom to do it again..always remember idle hands are the devils workshop.
will robots make corporate greed even worse
when robots do the jobs of humans you never said what the humans will do?
nj ken what humans did in 112bc. Or as the cesar called it, bread and entertainment. When slaves stole the jobs of the romans, romans got a UBI. Everyone was happy (except the slaves), now Everyone will be happy since robots wont have feelings.
UBI will come with Automation and it will be amazing. We all will have time for what we love. Ever wanted to become a youtuber, but didn‘t have money and time? well you‘ll be able to do it than. It will be the system that will lead everyone to their dreams.
And no, I‘m not naive, I read alot of theories and know alot about our current technological momentum, and IF we manage to have a progressive social mindset, we‘ll have the opportunity to create paradise for everyone, if we will keep our capitalistic system, we‘ll have a huge split between those who own the machines and those who own nothing. We see those affects already comming. It‘s time to open our minds.
Stay at home, Get drunk and eat chicken fingers!
how about educate yourself.
The Romans spent their days watching people kill each other. Being an artist is great if you believe that people appreciate your art, otherwise it's horribly depressing. There's going to be some good coming out of this for people who feel shackled to their jobs right now, but there is also going to be a lot of disillusionment and probably a lot of corresponding chaos, violence and self-destructive behavior.
Oh man I really mourn the days when people had jobs driving Horse and Buggys. I really wish I still had that job of shoveling coal into the Steam Locomotives
Lol, what is european anyways. Low Inftanility rate, acces to healthcare, actual scientific medicine, broad public education systems, 70 years of (inner) peace, food and shelter in abundance, free express of ideas, human rights, institutional judiciary, emanzipated woman, sucks to live in the europe of the 21st century, thats why everybody wants to leave this place, right?
Yup I'm so glad I don't have to work in that hot sweaty car factory again and use my paycheck to support myself. I'm so happily unemployed now! Yea!

You and I not even talking about same thing
BelialsRevenge, people like to say Europe when they are really just thinking of the rich countries for example, Germany, Denmark, Norway while excluding all the other countries with a bunch of problems, which is pretty ridiculous.
Well, it would have been best if you had never been born. In the future, people like you will be used like expendable "bio-robots" to do jobs can't do. It will be things in reverse. Expensive robots will be served by human "drones".
I am a robot, and have my eyes on you.
I like the name "Second Machine Age" a lot better
be worried.
Year 2050: Hello, I'm doctor *!?beep bop beep beep*"?(0100010101000) how my I probe you today?
Thank you DW... Like what Joe Schoendalff said a futurist 4.0 Fourth industrial revolution is happening😊🌍 Made 2017 thats a long time ago regarding new disruptive technology now is the time to talk positively about our future #buzzofftoxic
But what I'd really like to see is that guy who is talking about picking up that teddy bear and how great it is that the robot can figure it out is faced with a robot that want's a good look at his colon minus pain killers of course.
More automation will mean fewer high paying jobs for consumers. Unless thatbsutomation results in lower product prices it will be self defeating.
How can you get retrained to get another job when all jobs disappear ?
Most probably you will be in line for the "National Jobless community service", or whatever it is called in english. Probably corporations could invest in this? But I highly doubt them even thinking about such expenses for the useless cattle.
Basically your dreams of being stable high income paid person will turn into nightmare. You will feel as if you wasted all your time, and money in the college.
I hope I helped you in some way. Have a nice day!
They won't all disappear that is the point. Who innovates, repairs, reprograms, fixes your plumbing,drywall. Think for yourself for a change and see the possibilities.
I don't know,... The Military. I do want fresh young (maybe old body too) to test on.
they will.People are greedy period and they will do everything to cut costs.
3:35 I did not even notice the robot
YES
We judge people based on the quality of their mind and the quality of their heart. Andrew Yang has a great amount of both, which is rare in politics. #AndrewYang #Yanggang
The more I hear Andrew Yang explain the vision for the country with compasion and data I'm amazed!
#YangGang
yes i thinks so - around 40-60% of jobs will by robot automation in futur ( cars,taxi,bus,train, logistic ect ect ) , so we need to re-think our tax system , since income tax from workers will be non-excistence in futur
Income tax was always a bad idea...it was historically understood as being akin to slavery and was banned in many countries.
Yes
that opening music sounds a little horrible
I think, job quality for a decent white collar job is already falling and surprisingly it has nothing to do with Robots. Falling job quality has more to do with modern corporate culture; depending on employer, a permanent posting is rare nowadays as people move from jobs to jobs (either they was fired or they found it distasteful), and people is stressed in between jobs as they (are unemployed and) can only rely on government or family to provide 'safety net'. So, in my opinion, Robots in industries will bring nothing worse than this but instead it will bring more benefit to people because goods & service is becoming cheaper & better, thus it is allowing a riskier & more enjoyable life choices (like the nomad enterprise and 'gig' job) to be a viable mean of living.
Universal basic income will be needed.
UK Adult monthly UBI : £423, Switzerland Adult monthly UBI : £1,782, Finland Adult monthly UBI : £473. Lets all move to Switzerland.
@spex357, Switzerland can't be that naive... they most certainly won't give their UBI to any immigrant. Also, I'm sure a "real" UBI won't be as simple as everyone imagined, instead there'll be; either 1) an "entitled system" where people are selected for UBI or 2) "graded system" where people are entitled to a different amount of UBI.
I'm sure they are not, I was more interested in the other two being close.
The corporate culture is a result of globalization that started with internet
Wealth redistribution is manageable and will be done soon to keep social peace.
How do we motivate people to do unpleasant tasks which can not be automated?
There are many such jobs. This video does not discuss that.
The same way as they do today....
Change is always rough and ugly.
That's why I'm studying to help make these AIs
Im not getting left behind
just ask the toll booth workers on the 95 and bridges.
This rose is for you, have a good day!
Open the podbay doors, HAL.
"Our job "is to consume...
We used to be citizens.
