Robots should take over labour-intensive jobs

Iseriously doubt that a robot could do my job in the future because I am into marketing, sales and communication. Communication is all about that something that differentiates animals from human beings, so I don’t think a machine can step in.

On a lighter note, if you look around we do have robots working in a lot of professions ... they’re just human beings who have become very robotic with their work. They just log in, follow the tasks and then log out after the day is over.

However, in all seriousness, I do not think robots can replace human beings completely.

I am not against the idea of robots existing in the workplace, and I would be happy if they would take over jobs like mining or construction, where the environment isn’t always suitable or safe for the people working. So a machine can actually operate in those environments. Another area I would really love to see robots in is space travel and that is already happening.

But what would people do if their jobs are taken away? It is not likely that companies would be willing to pay workers for just sitting at home while the robots do their jobs. So, how do we generate income? This is a major issue and something governments and large corporations would need to take a look at because the introduction of robots would definitely make social inequality worse.

We are already struggling to keep parity between the rich and poor. You would need to train the workforce so that they are able to take up newer jobs. From Mr Gaurav Chhikara Corporate communications manager living in Dubai
