The technology industry seems to have two opinions when it comes to the place where human workers adapt to the world of power that they are creating: or they think that all things, except perhaps, will be done with bots. (QV Marc Andreessen seems to think his work as an investor could never be automated).
Or they think that bots will do Icky’s job, boring, acting as human friends at work while people do completely new jobs that the bot revolution creates. The latter is the most supported by historical evidence. The World Economic Forum predicts that 92 million roles will be shifted from current technological trends, but that will create 170 million new jobs.
For those who do not have economic power, or intellectual interest, to obtain a master’s degree in him and the teaching of machinery-especially people who now occupy unskilled roles of work such as warehouse workers-what does the future be filled with them?
Amazon offered an allusion to a trail of Wednesday when he announced great progress towards replacing warehouse workers with robots with his new Vulcan robots that can be “felt”.
“Vulcan is helping to make the job safer by dealing with ergonomically challenging tasks, and creates the opportunity for our teammates to increase their skills in maintaining robotics,” posted CEO Andy Jassy on X.
In one breath, Amazon’s blog post for Vulcan described how the robot will work together with people, collecting items from the highest and lower shelves of warehouses, so people will not have to climb the stairs or bend throughout the day. People will then collect stored items only in the middle and/or items that the new “Feeling” robot still cannot get to.
In the next breath, Amazon talks about how he is training a small number of warehouse workers to become robot technique, as using the bot for the role of getting warehouses.

“These robots – who play a role in completing 75% of customer orders – have created hundreds of new categories of Amazon jobs, from robotic floor monitors to reliability maintenance engineers in the country,” the post on blog said, adding that it offers a job restitution program for some workers.
Although Amazon did not say so, 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 them to fulfill the directors of the depots directly. Not everyone would have the ability or desire to become robot mechanics.
But the fact that Amazon included information on his retraining program along with his Vulcan announcement is significant.
That’s because there has been very little evidence so far what the post robots-doing-the-the-work is like working class people. (A founder of the beginning of he even suggested Techcrunch that in a world of his work, people would live somewhat only with the well-being issued by the government.)
But perhaps, instead of food servants, there would be “automation monitor”, just as we have an employee who oversees every row of self-control today. Instead of fast food chefs, workers would oversee the chef bots, etc. Robot management becomes how to operate a PC: almost everyone should know how to do it to be employed.
Then again, this future bot can never materialize. Bots can remain the assessment of only the largest and deepest companies-like Amazon or how they are used in things like automobile production-while most retail, restaurants and car’s work continue to be done by humans. At least for other decades.
Remember, Amazon is a company that was trying to sell its simple automation technology to a wider retail/food industry. The retail industry is no one very dear to its biggest competition, Amazon, and was not extremely interested. The technology was later discovered that he was using people in India to watch and label videos, and even Amazon later went through its use. Such technology (from Amazon or others) is hardly visible today in nature.
