It is true that in many cases, systems are replacing people in various industries and sectors. This trend is driven by a number of factors, including the increasing use of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, as well as the desire to reduce labor costs and increase efficiency.
One of the main benefits of using systems to replace people is the potential for increased efficiency and productivity. Automation and AI can perform tasks more quickly and accurately than humans, which can lead to time and cost savings for businesses. In addition, systems do not need breaks, vacations, or sick leave, which can further increase efficiency.
However, there are also potential drawbacks to replacing people with systems. One concern is the potential impact on employment and job security. Automation and AI can displace human workers, leading to job loss and unemployment. This can have negative consequences for individuals and families, as well as for the economy as a whole.
Another concern is the potential for systems to lack empathy and human judgment. While systems can perform tasks accurately and efficiently, they may lack the ability to understand and respond to human emotions and needs. This can be particularly problematic in industries that involve human interaction, such as healthcare and customer service.
Overall, the decision to replace people with systems is a complex one that requires careful consideration of the potential benefits and drawbacks. While systems can offer efficiencies and cost savings, it is important to consider the potential impact on employment and the quality of the customer experience.
Last week Google fired one of its top Artificial Intelligence researchers. Timnit Gebru, an Ethiopian origin computer scientist was working on a top Ethical AI project at Google when she was let go after she shared an email with colleagues. Timnits dismissal has raised a lot of questions about how large technology companies treat their staff, especially and the race for Artificial Intelligence dominance.
