In China, artificial intelligence seems to be infiltrating the workforce. Recently, restaurants have begun “employing” robots to both cook and serve to customers. This is really exciting for technology both pushing and testing its limits. But, it seems like the Chinese are missing one things in their production. Although it’s economical, where do these now unemployed waiters and cooks end up?
I believe in technology and its potential, but I am also a liberal humanist. We need to find jobs for the huge discrepant unemployed people in this world. Whether it’s being a cleaning lady or a waiter, people need to be employed to support and provide for themselves and their families. Technology should be innovated and veered in the direction of production to tackle these issues, not to save $386 per month for a big, lucrative chain restaurant.
