America’s newspaper of record had an interesting item earlier this month titled “The Robots Are Coming for Phil in Accounting.” The New York Times apparently meant to remind readers that smart machines aren’t just coming for simple manufacturing jobs, but also for the office gigs that require education. True, it’s easier to imagine physical robots […] March 21st, 2021 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: accounting, AI, artificial intelligence, automation, economy, office, robot, software, technology, worker |  Email This Post |  Print This Post It’s certainly the case that low-skilled immigrants will not be employable in the coming automated economy when robots can perform simple tasks cheaply 24/7 with no coffee breaks. But it’s also true that higher skilled persons won’t be needed in many fields as artificial intelligence (AI) develops more capability. Immigration in general should be dialed […] February 8th, 2020 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: AI, artificial intelligence, automation, Brookings, employment, immigration, jobs, McKinsey, robot, smart machines, software, technological unemployment, technology | Email This Post | Print This Post The present low unemployment is likely to end in a few years when robots, automation and artificial intelligence become more widely used in the workplace. The article linked below observed that at the recent Davos meeting of elite globalists, in private, rather than promoting re-training, leaders admitted “the more automation, the better.” So that’s the […] January 31st, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: Accenture, accounting, automation, financial services, H-1b, job replacement, office jobs, robot, software, SynOps | Email This Post | Print This Post Here’s an interesting take on automation-caused employment reduction in the office environment: not every job-killing change comes from a mandate sent down by corporate headquarters; sometimes a simple procedural adjustment suggested by a worker or an improvement to more efficient software can result with a co-worker’s job made obsolete. This story is a reminder that […] January 10th, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: automation, office work, robot, smart machines, software | Email This Post | Print This Post Smart machines are creating an uncertain future for those who work for a living. We already see skillful robots building cars and such with nary a worker in sight, but many job killers lurk in computers where advanced software does the calculations once accomplished by human brains. In 2015, the Wall Street Journal reported in […] April 24th, 2018 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: automation, banking, banks, employment, H-1b visa, immigration, job displacement, jobs, robot, software | Email This Post | Print This Post Labor Day is becoming a time of dismal reflection as automation technology continues its incursion into new places in the jobs economy. For example, self-driving taxis were rolled out for public testing in Singapore and Pittsburgh in August. A robot security guard was sighted in a San Francisco parking lot earlier in the summer.

Any questions you may have about products in the Lowe’s store can now be answered by the spiffy new retail robot in multiple languages, because LoweBot is linguistically diverse!

However drivers are a huge group with millions of workers, plus the collateral businesses that are built around track drivers in particular, like […] June 21st, 2016 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: automation, job displacement, robot, self-driving trucks, software, truckers | Email This Post | Print This Post The “Weird Hotel” in Sansebo still has some bugs to be solved, and the rollout was inclined to gimmicks designed to attract the sensation-seeking media, but the business does show the future. How gimmicky is it? Well, the English-speaking desk clerk is a bizarro dinosaur robot. Really. The Japanese-speaking clerk is a cutesy humanoid […] July 15th, 2015 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: American workers, amnesty, automation, computers, immigration, job displacement, jobs, smart machines, software, workers | Email This Post | Print This Post |
