Hundreds of millions of jobs affected. Trillions of dollars of wealth created. These are the potential impacts of a coming wave of automation. In this episode of Moving Upstream, we travelled to Asia to see the next generation of industrial robots, what they’re capable of, and whether they’re friend or foe to low-skilled workers.

the future is bright. robot floor cleaner, dishwasher, washing machine
Robot chief is in the making, sex robot is getting better, artificial womb is improving.
Won't be much longer, don't need any women.
Andrew Yang for President in 2020. He has a plan to take care of people has automation increases.
Can this Robot kill the ghost wandering around my house👈👈😎
the global trap book talked about this
Sadly..It is the era of obselete human labour…Do you Think This metode Will work for the worlds economic. ?
This is a wonderful, informative and insightful video about AI and what it can and will produce. At the same time, robotics is a forceful concept that will take time for humans to completely accept.
Why production and service sector increase. It is essentially demand and growing population.
My question is: who will buy what robots will produce, if humans cannot produce for their own sustainability?
No unions, no sick days. no maternity leave. no sexual harassment, no attitude, no egos, no smoke breaks, this is the way to go
I wish they perfect this so i can have welfare😑. Work has become a joke
I love robots.
Actually job is meant for robot's human are not meant for jobs human replaced robots for jobs and this is the truth robots can do work more efficiently fluently and very fast
Do you think the Chinese Communist Party out of all people are going to let robots render massive amount of poeple unempoyed? lol no, no they wont.
Japão= Futuro
How do you say somebody going from an assembly line to a service industry or,. working at McDonald's is comparable?

Chinese business man believes that in future the Aging population will live to enjoy the mechanisation of manufacturing including robots
They sure are prepared for it. With a difference because Chinese hv the tech to back up. They would Not be importing this robots for Long.
The potential is huge , and this could be the step for defeat underpaid and dangerous jobs , but it can also turn in a disaster , it all depends on politics and managers . I hope this will finally give humans the freedom to don't worry about primary needs and concentrate on higher jobs or/and pleasure whiteout worries .
3:28 .. False.. Machines do it faster.
7:25 So who did you cut him off in mid sentence?
Oh right, because 'China is baaaaaaad' Because Chinese are 'forced' to abandon their boring tasks, but we in the West have the freedom to do it for minimum wage.
Because in China they are 'forced to retire at 60(M) and 50-55(F) and here in the West ppl 'like to work' till they die.
they are making babies
I think company profits will get smaller as more workers lose jobs because the workers losing their jobs are consumers

Am a 62 year old disabled woman who can't get a decent home health aide since immigration has been severely restricted in the US. Would gladly welcome a robot home health aide and a humanoid social robot to talk to when I am lonely!
Maluco parcial da porra. Dá para notar a cara de desprezo.
I worked in manufacturing then finished my degree in applied math. I have major doubts about concerns people have. I was a machinist. There's a lot of tasks that can be improved or automated but completely eliminated, no.
Bulshit robots can do everything a human can does has he ever see iRobot soon-to-be the future humanoid robots
I think robots are great. But now at a time where huge sectors of humanity are being left behind we need to consider that we make sure all people are brought along and are able to take advantage of the huge windfall that is taking place..
Posting this twice for the fear mongers that fear what they don't know:
It's getting old how some people want us all to live in some archaic past time. Robots and "AI" (it's a calculator, not alive… it's not magic simply because you don't understand it) only make us capable of doing other things, and do them better. You can't see that future because if you could you would be a billionaire. You see these tools and fear them because they are beyond you… you don't want to learn them, you want "others" to use a shovel in a field forever, never considering that before that tool (the shovel) was created people used sticks or their hands, destroying their bodies and living only to dig/work.
These robots don't create anything, they don't make themselves… they do as we ask and as always more jobs are created than taken away. An automated tractor harvesting food in a giant field means almost no one works in farming anymore, yet that machine took several times more people (jobs) to create than were lost.
Before it was simple hand tools and maybe 50 people in a field… Now it's hundreds of industries employing tens of thousands or millions of people to create that single machine. Then there is upkeep and new versions that again take millions of people to think up and make.
It's tiresome how so many lack this basic understanding of economics and how we progress. If machines do everything from mining the resources to building and designing themselves… figuring out what we want and how we want it then the Utopia will be discovered and money will have no value as you machines make it all, deliver it to you and no one runs or owns a company anymore. It's safe to say that future will probably never come to be as we simply move to new ideas that need a whole new set of tools to do. You can't see that future because you still do mundane jobs of yester years to pay the bills… we are simply moving into the next future that at some point will become the jobs of yester year.
Greed is gonna kill the human race. We need to stop with this nonsense.
Who going to buy the products without jobs?
Robots are not taking jobs away from workers. Robots are freeing up manpower from one task so that same manpower can be used instead on another task simultaneously. Therefore, the same manpower force can be used to produce twice as many products, which gives us more selection at cheaper prices.
But the simple-minded cannot see that. They can't see our selection of products and the cost for them is coming down. Video games exist because car manufacturing freed up some of its workforce and now those unneeded guys learn programing instead and spend their time making games which you buy. But you could not buy them if every man had to produce his own food and his own goods like hundreds of years ago before mass production.
We love the efficiency and economy of mass production. Robots just takes that to another level. What do you think 3D printing is? What do you think the Ink Jet printer is? What do you think a sewing machine is? What do you think a high pressure power washer is? What do you think a power drill is? A vacuum cleaner, a washing machine, a microwave, a cell phone? They are just more forms of higher efficiency to free us up to do other things instead like invent and watch YouTube. If automated robots did not exist, you could not have a cell phone for under $5,000 dollars.
The quick brush off of an employee, as if only a used up piece of useless trash, should be concerning……
I have an idea. If the robots take our jerbs, we can ban tractors and other farming technology, and then there'll be plenty of work for everybody in agriculture.
The thing is to find things to interest one!!!!!!!
Robots making babies
If I was building a (new) country I would prefer to use robots in starting out to Guarantee a certain production value quality and a certain production value in numbers of output running the production line 24/6/355 a year.
I would go so far as make a company “on-premises hotel 🏨 /mini mall/food place”as to make certain a productive value is kept with minimal down time and minimizing worker costs at the same time in phases.
This would be for single men to live.

Ok, you take the people out of the loop as the robots do their jobs. In other words, you lay them off. Quickly the people become unemployed and no longer have the money to buy the products that the robots make. Hmmmmm, looks like a lot of idle robots living in the future, and a lot of people going back to villages that are self-sustaining or they die off. Either way, you are killing your customers or losing them.
Welding car parts is not that dangerous. What is dangerous is the marginalisation of human labour.
YEAH, ROBOTS ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THEIR TRAINERS, WHAT IF???
CAN IT WASH EVERYTHING IT USES????
ARE HUMANS GOING TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A BURDEN???? SO CHINESE FAMILIES ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE BABIES AND HAVE ROBOTS TAKE CARE OF THEM???? NO I THINK CHINA IS GOING TO BREAK, JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE RETAIN THEIR BUDDHIST HISTORY. SCREW THEM BUDDHA SAID, ONLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CLUE ANYMORE. THESE ARE THE END OF TIMES!!!!
Machine can only be of mathematical algorithm…but we humans are of biological and mathematical algorithm integration.
It would be better if bots would be kept for humanitarian activity to enhance the living ,not for those which offs job of human
