Kai-fu Lee: White-collar workers are more dangerous than blue-collar workers in the face of robots.

(Original title: Former Google China President: AI Takeover of Jobs Will Come Sooner Than We Think)

Netease Technology News November 15 news, according to Futurism reported that some people think that artificial intelligence (AI) will replace many of the work currently carried out by human employees. In some industries, this trend has begun to show up, and experts predict that we will see a significant increase in intelligent automation in the next 10 years. Kai-Fu Lee, former president of Google China, believes that smart machines "take over" human work will happen earlier than expected.

Recently, when he participated in the “Squawk Box” program of the technology media CNBC, Li Kaifu stated that half of the human work will be taken over by AI in the next 10 years. This is the fastest time of disruption in history. He said: "At the same time, AI will replace blue-collar and white-collar jobs." Kai-fu Lee is now the chairman and chief executive officer of "Sinovation Ventures" (Sinovation Ventures).

Kai-fu Lee also believes that intelligent machines will first take over white-collar jobs, which is contrary to other people's predictions. He said: “White-collar jobs are easier to take over because they are purely quantitative processes. Reporters, traders, telemarketers, telemarketers, customer services, and analysts can all be replaced by software. As for blue-collar jobs, some require hand-eye coordination. The machine is not good enough for these tasks."

In an e-mailed commentary, Pierre Barreau, CEO of AIVA Technologies, also agreed with Kai-Fu Lee. He said: "Blue collar work requires breakthroughs in software and hardware/robot technology because a lot of white-collar jobs may only need to make breakthroughs in software." In an e-mail to the technology media Futurism, Luke Tang, general manager of TechCode (Luke Tang) added: “AI has already replaced humans in certain areas, such as analyzing reports, conducting legal careers in discovery, etc. And soon, AI will replace more human work in other areas, such as truck drivers. Investment manager."

Another interesting idea shared by Kai-Fu Lee and CNBC is to use Universal Basic Income (UBI) to ease the unemployment problem caused by automation, and warned that “optimists naively believe that UBI will become a career reinventing self The catalyst.” Kai-Fu Lee acknowledged that UBI can compensate in certain areas, but it is not so effective in offsetting the effects of traditional economic instability. Recent UBI tests have proven that UBI is not effective enough to encourage workers to find jobs.

In fact, education and retraining have been proposed by other experts, including World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, who believes that we must invest in people to solve the problem of the replacement of work by automation. Baro, CEO of AIVA Technologies, agreed with this judgment. He said: “One of the most important challenges brought about by work automation is to ensure that our education system can keep up with the demands of new jobs. In the 1980s, people The personal computer's expectations are not high. This may not be an obvious solution, but he eventually believes that this solution will be achieved." (Small)
