Chapter 293: Is the Future of Mankind Worrisome?

All the reporters turned their attention to Shen Huai, could intelligent beings be the gravediggers of mankind? Will intelligent beings take away human jobs? What would happen to humans if most of their jobs were replaced by intelligent beings?

People expect Shen Huai to give a satisfactory answer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I think your question represents the confusion of most people." Shen Huai glanced at the reporter of the "Xinhua Times" in admiration.

"In fact, this question is asked in confusion in every technological era, or every trend emerges."

Shen Huai paused, and then said: "In the sixties of the eighteenth century, the British weaver Hargreaves invented the 'Jenny Loom 'and led the first industrial revolution. Will a large number of textile women unions in Britain be laid off?

More recently, in the forties of the 20th century, the third scientific and technological revolution opened, with the invention of atomic energy, electronic computers, etc. into people's lives, at that time, many people were also afraid that after machines and computers replaced most of the human work, what should people do, will they be unemployed, has the human world been going to extinction?

Some time ago, before the birth of intelligent beings, there were many people who were worried about whether artificial intelligence would replace humans, and now you have transferred your concerns about artificial intelligence to intelligent beings.

The progress of science and technology means the continuous improvement of the main means of labor and the continuous improvement of labor productivity. An increase in the efficiency of labor means a decrease in the number of workers employed, and it means what you call unemployment. ”

Shen Huai said: "The development of science and technology has brought about a change in the status of human beings, and I believe that there will be no large-scale female workers working in dark small rooms now, and there will be no large number of laborers using the most traditional ploughing oxen and ploughing the land, which were the way for human beings to survive hundreds or even decades ago."

People are no longer engaged in handicrafts and textiles, but there are many more mechanical maintenance hours and operators, people no longer use pen and paper to calculate the laws of the development of affairs, but we have many more programmers and mechanical and computer maintenance personnel.

In the same way, now we are standing at a new technological juncture, and people are no longer engaged in mechanical assembly line work and heavy service industries, because there will be better jobs that are more in line with the development of the times waiting for people. ”

Shen Huai finally concluded: "It is undeniable that human beings are by far the most intelligent animals in the world, and we are at the top of the food chain. In my opinion, any job that can be replaced by a machine or a sapient creature is a job that is not worth the effort of human beings. We should devote our limited time to things that are more worthwhile.

At present, the number of intelligent creatures and the work they are engaged in are in the hands of chaotic creatures, and chaotic creatures will be produced according to the number of needs of enterprises, and intelligent creatures will not reproduce in large numbers like humans, and they themselves will not have the ability to reproduce, so intelligent creatures will always be good assistants and good friends of human beings, and will not threaten the status of human beings. ”

Shen Huai gave the most authoritative answer, explaining the doubts about intelligent creatures in the hearts of the people, but there are still people who are deeply wary of intelligent creatures.

"Hello Mr. Shen, I am a reporter from UC Live. There are many netizens who have asked such questions. ”

The UC reporter said: "At some point in the future, workers on the assembly line may find a job that is more suitable for them. But now, many of them are mostly from rural areas, do not have a high degree of education and no high skills, most of them have forgotten the skills of farming although they grew up in the countryside, and they rely on the assembly line work of enterprises such as Foxconn to survive. May I ask Mr. Shen, as far as the current situation is concerned, if intelligent beings take their place, how should they survive? ”

UC reporter's question has been agreed by most people, far from the current situation, after the completion of the Jiangcheng Smart Biological Park, many enterprises will reduce the number of workers, which will have a strong impact on this group of young people.

Shen Huai has also been thinking about this problem, just like the reform of a large number of state-owned enterprises around 98, if the country wants to develop and science and technology to progress, it will always harm the interests of a certain ethnic group, and this sacrifice is inevitable.

Shen Huai said: "For young people who are still working in labor-intensive companies, I can only persuade everyone to learn more skills and knowledge in their spare time, because sooner or later mechanical repetitive work will be replaced, and even if intelligent creatures do not appear, they will be replaced by cheaper robots and artificial intelligence in the future."

The replacement of humans by intelligent beings for such labor-intensive work is a gradual process, not a sudden total replacement, and all people have plenty of time to adapt to the process. The times will give you enough time to improve yourself, don't be cannon fodder for the progress of the times and the development of science and technology. ”

Shen Huai's answer was agreed by most people, and netizens who were watching the UC live broadcast also praised Shen Huai's answer.

"What Boss Shen said is that no enterprise or organization has the responsibility and obligation to raise an idler who only eats but does not do, and should study more and work harder while he is young, rather than being willing to be a worker (robot) on the assembly line for the rest of his life!"

"I am 19 years old this year, my family has been wandering at home for a few years after graduating from junior high school in the countryside, and now I am working in the Jabil factory in Rongcheng, an ordinary worker on the assembly line, and what I have to do every day is to twist the screws of the mobile phone motherboard, working 12 hours a day, with a monthly salary of about 4,000. I was deeply touched by the words of Boss Shen just now when I watched the live broadcast, I am only 19 and still very young, I don't want to be a worker on the assembly line all my life, I think I want to learn other knowledge while going to work first, I don't want to be eliminated by the times! ”

"What Boss Shen said is very reasonable, the first three scientific and technological revolutions, many people have been eliminated by the times, human society is originally a competitive society, you don't work hard and want to eat well and have fun, where is this kind of heavenly principle! It is a matter of course that intelligent beings replace the simple, repetitive tasks of humans. ”

"I read a report on Boss Shen last time, and now Boss Shen is worth hundreds of billions, and billionaires often stay up late at night to do research and experiments, and those of us who have 2,000 yuan a month still have the face to play with mobile phones and sleep lazy every day? Deserved to be eliminated! ”

"I also support Boss Shen, those who have been eliminated by the times are people who are useless to society and human progress! Why can't intelligent creatures replace Boss Shen and Hawking? ”

"The barrage above is 666!"
