We have seen such a scene in science fiction movies, where countless robots are produced in assembly lines. These employees who will not be tired and always maintain accuracy are the dream of every factory boss. Due to technology and funds, such a picture is still difficult to realize.
Artificial intelligence will partially replace human positions
However, with the continuous development of technology, the times will not stop moving forward. Production methods in the old era will eventually be eliminated. Recently, Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou said that he will plan to invest at least US$342 million in the fields of artificial intelligence and industrial Internet in the future within five years.
, and Foxconn's panel department, , Qunchuang Optoelectronics , plans to cut more than 10,000 jobs this year. According to the BBC, by 2025, at least one-quarter of the jobs in the world will completely disappear due to the development of artificial intelligence.
In fact, this situation has been predicted. In addition to the robot that really has a head and limbs like a human, this scene can also be seen in the assembly lines of some large assembly factories. Countless huge robotic arms are carrying heavy parts and quickly assembled on the assembly line.
These are the most widely used industrial robots. These robots are similar in appearance to human arms and are composed of the base, arms, wrists and hands. However, these robots are fixed in one location to perform point-type work, and move accurately between the set two points, which is suitable for handling, loading, spot welding and other work.
repetitive work is facing tedious and labor-intensive work such as replacing
, which is extremely suitable for industrial robots to work. However, at present, the production of Qunchuang Optoelectronics display panels does not belong to the labor industry with very strong intensity. Now there have been news that employees will be laid off, which also proves that artificial intelligence has entered the production environment of light work.
Speaking of robots on handmade products production lines, starting from 2015, SoftWear Automation launched the sewing robot LOWRY, which uses machine vision to identify deformations on textile materials and make adjustments. Due to the technical limitations at that time, the robot could only produce simple products.
After technological improvement, today's sewing robots can make complete T-shirts and most of jeans. According to current media information, a sewing robot production line from SoftWear Automation can replace the traditional production line composed of 10 workers. It can produce 1,142 T-shirts in 8 hours, while human production lines can only produce 669 pieces.
If you only look at a single skilled worker to operate, the production efficiency of a sewing robot is equivalent to 17 times that of a skilled worker. And this is just working 8 hours a day. If 24 hours of continuous production, the efficiency will reach 51 times that of terrifying.
I believe that as long as you are a normal entrepreneur, you will use these robots to work with this efficiency gap without hesitation. Not only is it more efficient, but these robots are also tireless and just need to maintain them regularly.
Only creativity cannot replace
According to relevant data analysis, the top ten professions with the highest probability of being replaced by AI in the future are: telesalesmen, typists, accountants, insurance practitioners, banking personnel, government employees, operators, front desks, customer service, HR, etc. In the future, we will most likely never see anyone engaging in these professions again.
Of course, most of the professions that are easily replaced by these robots are professions that are easily replaced by repetitive work. It is difficult for truly creative professions to be replaced by robots.
For example, designers, writers, painters, etc., these creative professions are beyond the reach of artificial intelligence. Although there are , Microsoft Xiaobing who can write poetry independently, that level of poetry is only slightly better than ordinary people, and it is not as good as that of the people in the industry.
Its existence is more used to screen out those who want to take advantage of the troubled waters in this industry, and those truly talented poets will stand out from this choice.
summary
Back to Qunchuang Optoelectronics, for a panel manufacturer, using machines to replace employees in assembly line operations is an inevitable choice. Using automation technology to replace the current manual production process is also to accelerate the development of future innovation.
If you want to change your fate of being laid off, you can only deepen your industry and strive for excellence, or switch to other industries and engage in some creative careers. The development of the times is not something that individuals can prevent. Only by following the pace of the times can one ensure that one is not eliminated.
