This document discusses how artificial intelligence and automation are impacting the labor workforce. It notes that tools and machines have been created to help reduce physical labor in areas like farming. It then discusses how new robots like Baxter can perform basic physical tasks at a lower cost than human workers. The document warns that as mechanical minds and software bots replace humans in more jobs, it will significantly impact the workforce as many humans may be unprepared for these changes. It provides examples of how professions once considered safe, like lawyers, doctors, and creative jobs, are now being encroached on by automation as well.

1. Artificial Intelligence
By Shania. Jim Agoya

2. Artificial Intelligence and the Labouré
workforce
Humans are smart to survive but need tools to make their job easier
Tools are used by humans to make life easy
Humans have built tools to help with farming and agriculture
Examples of farming equipment are diggers, hay knives, pitchforks,
and drag hoes.
Humans have also built machines to help reduce physical labor
 Mechanical muscles are stronger, reliable, and more tireless than
human
Examples are excavator, wheel burrow, hummer, screw, pulley, and
lever

3. Physical Laboure
 Automation is dumb robots blind to the world and their work
 The new kind of automation is Baxter and it has a vision
Baxter can learn what you want him to do by watching
Cost less than an average salary of a human worker
Baxter might be thought of as a general-purpose robot
General purpose computer can calculate change or assign a seat in a
pane…etc just by swapping its software
Baxter is the computer of the 1980s and bot the APEX
Baxter is slow however smart enough to take over a small skill job

4. Luddite Horses
The horse population peaked in 1915
Economics rule says better technology makes better jobs for horses
As mechanical muscles pushed horses out of the economy
Mechanical minds will do the same to humans
Not immediately, not everywhere but in large numbers soon enough
 It’s going to be a huge problem because we’re not prepared
Horses and no longer used but replaced by cars

5. Automobiles
Self perfect cars aren’t the future they are here and they work
They don’t need to be perfect but need to be better than us humans
Human drivers killed 40,000 people a year in the United States
 It’s easy to see them being better than humans because they already
are.
Autos-The solution to the transport problem from point A to B
Transportation industry in the US employs about 3 million people
Humans are about a third of their total cost

6. The things that shape and change me
White collar job is not a safe haven either
The incentive to automate their work is greater than a low skilled job
Automation engineers are skilled programmers whose entire job is to
replace yours with a software bot
Soft ware bots are both intangible and way faster and cheaper than
physical robots
Bot can figure out how to do a job to be done
Even with no knowledge to do bot can still learn
There are companies that keep bots to write anything

7. Professional Bots
Discovery in particular is not a human job in many law firms
Clever bots shift through millions of emails memos and accounts in
hours
Watson’s day job is to be the best doctor
To understand what people say and give back diagnosis
Human doctors by no means are perfect
Human doctors can only improve their own experiences
Doctor bots can learn from the experience of every doctor bot

8. Creative Bots
The brain is a complicated machine
Creativities may feel like magic but it isn’t
The brain is the most complicated machine in the whole universe
Artistic creativity isn’t what the majority of jobs depend on
There cant be such a thing as a poem or painting based on economy
People think that playing chess is a thing computers can’t do
There is a terrifying amount of working automation
