They shared one common concern: the impact of robots on
unemployment.
Not as sexy as killer drones from the future or, for that matter,
sexbots, but arguably a bigger threat to humanity.
Take self-driving vehicles, for example. Google is already
piloting this technology. Uber has made no secret of its long-
range plans to replace human drivers with self-driving cabs.
(Yes, the “Johnny Cab” from Total Recall is on the way.) But
what happens to all these unemployed taxi, limousine, and truck
drivers? Do they get retrained for exciting new careers in the
digital economy? Or do they become a new permanent
underclass?
Now add fast food workers, hotel desk clerks and bellboys,
airport luggage handlers... the list goes on and on. And not just
physical workers; the thinking and creative classes will be
impacted as well. We already have medical expert systems that
can out-diagnose doctors and legal expert systems that can out-
brief lawyers. A recent study indicates a whopping 47 percent
of U.S. jobs may be automated in the next 20 years.
(Personal note: I am old enough to remember ATMs replacing
bank clerks. Where did all those human tellers go?)
The attendees split into two camps: the techno-optimists
(“robots will generate more jobs and/or more leisure time”), and
the techno-pessimists (“robots will cause mass unemployment
and social upheaval”). This in turn led to sometimes heated
debate on income inequality and a guaranteed basic income.
(You can’t enjoy your increased leisure time if you’re broke.)
As James P. Clark, Founder/Chairman of the World Technology
Network said in his opening statement:
Many of the so-called techno-optimists and the vast majority of
capitalists argue that creative destruction due to technological
7. innovation will continue to play out positively in the coming
years and perhaps even without much of a hitch.
The most intense techno-pessimists think we are headed for a
job-copalypse that will unravel civilization and that there is no
way to avoid it.
...
Let’s avoid dystopia and shoot if not for utopia than for
something much better than what we’ve got, something MUCH
more politically and environmentally sustainable. Something for
the first time ever perhaps that is actually morally defensible in
every way.
This was something, at least, the summit participants could all
agree on. Now about those killer drones and sexbots...

12. 2. Identify a problem you need to solve.
Identify and describe below a problem you are facing that is
within your control to solve. Be sure to include enough detail so
your faculty member has enough context to determine if the
solutions provided later in the worksheet are appropriate. (50-
100 words)
One of the problems that am currently facing is heavy use of my
smart phone. Lately, I have noticed that I spend a lot of my time
just scrolling on my phones screen. This has reduced my
concentration on other things since most of the time am usually
navigating through different applications.
3. Review Ch. 10 and list two potential failures that can occur
when identifying alternative solutions.
Having unrealistic thinking
Having a narrow scope of alternative
4. What two forms of irrational problem-solving are discussed
in this week’s text reading?
Problems for which our response will have obvious long-
term consequences.
Problems whose long-term consequences must be discovered
5. Keeping in mind the need to avoid the potential challenges
you identified in #3 and #4 above, create three possible
solutions for solving the problem you are facing.
13. Solution
#1 (25 to 50 words)
One the solutions is to develop a schedule of using my phone.
This involves setting alarms and at different intervals on which
I should check my phone. The intervals should increase with
time.
