AI, Robotics, And How Work Is Changing?

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics have come to be the order of the day

There will be fewer and fewer tasks that can be performed more effectively by a robot. I need to be precise. These are not things I wish would occur; rather, they are thoughts that are likely to occur, and we must then consider what we will do about them. I believe that a basic universal income of some kind will be required. The risk representing things to come is that men might become captives to robots. The jobs that can't be done by robots will make up the future workforce. Our food will be gathered, cooked, and served by robots. They will drive our cars, walk our dogs, and work in our factories. The age of work is coming to an end, whether you like it or not. As automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics progress, there are now more and more job losses. We will soon see a photograph of a robot proclaiming itself to be the best CEO of the century. How are we preparing our children for this possibility? In India, the majority of schools and colleges have curriculums that are not up to date. Education must be centered on technology in today's world. How could advance education get ready understudies for their expert lives when callings themselves are vanishing?

Industrial robots can be used in a variety of manufacturing processes because of their wide range of capabilities and robotics. Welding, painting, pick-and-place, packaging and labelling, assembly and disassembly, product inspection, product testing, palletizing, polishing, grinding, and buffing are typically performed by robots in the manufacturing sector. More and more businesses are incorporating industrial robots into their workforce as they become faster, smarter, and less expensive. Robotic automation advancements have greatly benefited the medical profession. Surgeons are now using robots to assist them in performing precise surgeries. A surgical semi-autonomous robot outperformed human surgeons in one scenario, causing less tissue damage and greater precision.

Robotics have been used to cut costs and boost productivity in the agricultural sector. Farmers can monitor pests and diseases that reduce crop yields using sensor technology. Picking fruits and vegetables requires significant investment. Something can be identified as ripe using computer vision. Pharmaceuticals can get into the hands of people and cause contamination. Naturally, pharmaceutical companies want to reduce the likelihood of this occurring. This alone is why robots are useful. Medical syringe packaging is one example. Syringes need to be taken off a conveyor line and put in a box. There is a possibility of contamination and harm when this is done. Because the syringes are transparent, it proved challenging to have robots perform this task. The use of robots to assist pharmacists is relatively new. They are excellent for simple tasks like pill counting. In the pharmacy, prescriptions are entered into a computer system. The appropriate container size can be determined by the software. A robotic arm can dispense the pills into the container after it locates the appropriate medication. Additionally, the robot can label the container and place it on a conveyor belt.

Powered by AI, driverless automobiles are hitting the road. Robots can now climb steps, open entryways, dissect stocks, work in production lines, guide oncologists, be the ideal lawful analyst, and break down a wide range of information. Aerial drones are beginning to be used for inventory taking in warehouses. When done physically, the stock-taking interaction affects individuals getting up on stepping stools. To count the items, they have to look inside the boxes. It takes a long time, is slow, and is boring. Drones can read barcodes and count items as they fly through the aisles. The drones recharge themselves by flying to a nesting area when their batteries begin to run low. Inventory can be taken very quickly with these aerial robots, saving a lot of time and money. Masons must lift substantial cement blocks. Each day, the typical mason lifts 3000 of these blocks. The work is exhausting, and injuries caused by repetitive motion are common. Soon, many masons will need shoulder operations. Heavy lifting can be performed by robotic arms that are guided by masons. Because they can work in hazardous environments and conditions, such as dim lighting and toxic chemicals, robots eliminate dangerous jobs for humans. They can lift heavy objects without getting hurt or tired. Companies have been able to save time and money as a result of this, preventing numerous accidents. They also make work more enjoyable in many workplaces.

To the degree that robotization and robotization wipe out the interest in low-instructed and routine business, associations can't switch this pattern regardless of whether they can keep up with the positions of current routine laborers until retirement. Since the 18th century, labor unions have been defending the rights of workers. Organized labor unions insisted on the creation of Labor Day, a worldwide public holiday.

The survival of labor unions, which are intricate governing bodies, will depend on whether the industry truly values the everyday worker over automation's convenience. However, in a time of shifting workplaces and workforces, participatory labor relations demand that unions encourage innovation and change rather than impede it.
