如何防止机器人抢走你的饭碗

除了酒店业，Momentum Machines公司也发明了一款会烤汉堡的机器人，每10秒钟就可以做一个汉堡包。该机器人可以代替三名全职厨房员工，占据的空间也更少，有望降低成本。Momentum Machines公司的联合创始人亚里山德罗斯o瓦尔达克斯塔斯最近在利姆诺实验室(Lemnos Labs)接受采访时称，他的机器人“并不是为了让员工更有效率，而是要完全取代他们。”

Both Savioke and Momentum Machines are early signs of the upcoming Technology Revolution. Spawned by advances in robotics, big data, cloud computing and mobile, the revolution could replace millions of jobs. If you recall, the Industrial Revolution was no different than what we will likely see in the future. In 1820, the UK employed approximately 240,000 cotton hand weavers. Within 40 years, 99% of those jobs vanished as a result of the mechanical loom.

Savioke和Momentum Machines的机器人，都是即将到来的科技革命的早期信号。拜机器人学、大数据、云计算和移动技术的长足进步所赐，这次科技革命可能会取代千百万人的工作。在这次革命中，我们看到的图景可能与工业革命时期没什么不同。在1920年，英国企业雇佣的手工绵纺织工约为24万人。而随着机械织布机的兴起，不到40年，其中99%的工作岗位都消失了。

About half, 47%, of today’s jobs could be automated away over the next 20 years, according to a recent study by Oxford University. Following the Industrial Revolution during the early 1800s, new inventions created more than enough new work to replace the jobs that were dislocated. But given the ability of today’s technology startups to reach massive scale with minimal headcount, things very well might be different this time around. In 2017, Instagram reached 30 million users and was acquired by Facebook FB -3.35% for $1 billion — all with just 13 employees. By contrast, Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and employed 145,000 people during its peak.
