The technological industry seems to have two thoughts when it comes to the point where human workers fit the world powered by AI they create: either they believe that all jobs, except perhaps their own, will be done by bots. (VC Marc Andreessen seems to be thinking that his work as an investor could never be automated).
Or they believe that the bots will do the icky, boring work, acting as human comrades in jobs, while people do brand new jobs created by the Bot revolution. The latter is the one that is more supported by historical elements. The World Economic Forum predicts that 92 million roles will be displaced From current technological trends, but 170 million new jobs will be created.
For those who do not have the financial power or spiritual interest, to obtain a Master’s Degree in AI and mechanical learning-especially people who now take up unskilled hard work roles such as warehouse workers-what does the future look full of bot?
Amazon offered a hint of a kind of trails on Wednesday, when it announced significant progress for replacing workers in the warehouse with a robot with the new Vulcan robot that may “feel”.
“Vulcan helps to make work safer with the handling of ergonomically provocative duties, creating opportunities for our teammates to develop their skills in robotics maintenance,” Managing Director Andy Jassy Posted on x.
In a breath, Amazon’s blog About Vulcan described how the robot will work with people, gathering objects from the highest and lower shelves of the warehouse, so people should not climb the stairs or bend all day long. People will gather objects stored only in the middle and/or objects that the new “feeling” robot still cannot be able to get.
In the next breath, Amazon talks about how to train a small number of warehouse workers to become robot technicians as it uses the bot for more than the role of warehouse selection.

“These robots – which play a role in completing 75% of customers’ orders – have created hundreds of new Amazon job categories, from robotic floor screens to credibility maintenance engineers,” the blog post said, adding that it is offering a workout program for some work.
Although Amazon did not say that, this would obviously not be a 1: 1 conversion. It would not require an army of people to oversee robots in the same way they need to fulfill warehouse orders immediately. Everyone would not have the ability or desire to become mechanical robot.
But the fact that Amazon included information about the re -training program alongside the Vulcan announcement makes sense.
This is due to the fact that there was very little evidence of what resembles the robots-all-all-the-jobs for the people of the working class. (A AI starting founder even suggested to TechCrunch that in an AI-Does-all-Jobs world, people would live a bit about the welfare of the government.)
But perhaps, instead of grocery stores, there would be “automation screens”, as well as an employee who oversees every order of self -service today. Instead of fast food cooks, workers will oversee cooking bots and so on. Running robots become like a computer work: almost everyone needs to know how to do it to be employed.
Again, this fully bot future can never really be implemented. Bots could remain the responsibility of only the largest and deepest companies-such as Amazon or how they are used in things such as the automotive industry-while the vast majority of retail, restaurants and job driving continue to be made by humans. At least for decades more.
Remember, Amazon is a company trying to sell Automation Automation Amazon Go technology In a broader retail/grocery industry. The retail industry is not a lover of its biggest competitor, Amazon, and is not terribly interested.

Such technology (from Amazon or others) is almost visible in the wild today.
