In an era characterized by rapid advancements in the field of technology and artificial intelligence, it has become
increasingly common for robots to take control over jobs which were done by humans, particularly in advanced countries. While there are compelling benefits associated with job responsibilities, I believe that it does more harm than good.
Proponents of artificial intelligence cite various reasons to support their stance. When companies rely on robots, they not only invest less money but also have efficient workers, which make fewer mistakes and work long hours without break that necessarily for people. As a resuit, they have a chance to find time engaging in favorite hobbies and family-bonding activities, thereby generating revenue for future assets, allocating less time to their jobs. A case in point is my home country of Uzbekistan, where people spend long hours performing their job responsibilities, which makes it hard to spend quality time with their families.
Despite these arguments, in my view, the growing reliance on robots in the workplace represents a concerning development. If both small businesses and big corporations depend on machines to carry out their tasks, the demand for human workers declines, which is likely to reduce employment opportunities and intensify competition in the labor market. As a consequence, people may have a hard time finding a job and earning a living, potentially causing demoralizing feelings of unworthiness, disenfranchisement, stress, and anxiety. At a time when unemployment and underdevelopment have reached epidemic proportions due to population growth and mass immigration, the increasing dependency on automation and Al might exacerbate our problems related to financial stability and mental wellbeing.
In conclusion, although the reliance on automation is likely to help manage their time more effectively, I believe that its impact on our job security, financial stability and emotional wellbeing deserves greater attention.
