New Laws of Robotics

Mehr zum Buch

AI is set to transform our work and lives, and we can leverage these technologies through wise regulation. Many CEOs predict a future where automation renders jobs obsolete, suggesting a stark choice: adapt or be replaced. However, an alternative narrative exists. In various fields, robotic systems can enhance the value of labor rather than diminish it. The author highlights how professionals like nurses, teachers, and designers collaborate with technologists, turning potential threats into opportunities for better healthcare, education, and more, while preserving meaningful work. These partnerships illustrate how law and regulation can foster shared prosperity instead of a zero-sum competition between humans and machines. Key questions arise: How much should we allow AI to take over human tasks? What are the implications of such changes? What balance should exist between robotic and human interaction? The author argues that policymakers must not leave these critical decisions to corporations or engineers alone. The nature of automation and its beneficiaries will hinge on countless decisions regarding AI development. Proposing methods to democratize decision-making, the author envisions a future where human skills remain central to an inclusive economy, presenting a sober yet hopeful perspective on technological advancement.
