This paper gives some insight into the vast subject of artificial intelligence and its use in the business world. Artificial intelligence is an incredibly interesting topic; it is used throughout the world in many different applications. Many do not know what artificial intelligence is or how it used, even though they are surrounded by it on a daily basis. To learn more about this topic it is important to do extensive research online by reading many different academic journals and articles. This paper will give the reader a better understanding of artificial intelligence and how it is being used in transportation and manufacturing businesses. These are just two small sections in the wide subject of AI (artificial intelligence) but give a bigger …show more content…
For many years robots have been used in factories and manufacturing processes to help humans do simple jobs. In the past robots were used for huge tasks such as in the production of a car by welding it or painting it. The future of robots in factories and manufacturing lies in the change of their utility. Robots are now being developed to do small tasks that take a high rate of precision. They also are being made to be smaller and easily reprogrammable, so they can do more than just one task in a singular location. The transition of robots taking a bigger role in the manufacturing process which forces out human workers is because of the reliability of having a consistent worker. Infosys an AI research company states, “ With robots attaining greater degrees of sensitivity in their touch capabilities, savvy manufactures are embracing robotics in greater volume to increase efficiency and work rates on production, picking and packing lines” (Limited, 2017) With robots becoming more advanced and cheaper to buy and operate many businesses have switched to robotics instead of workers. Robots can work continuously without stopping for a lunch break or to go home every 8 hours. In areas of the world that have high wages, robots are becoming an easy way for companies to cut cost by firing human employees they no longer need. They do not require a lot of training, which is an added cost to a company every time they hire a new human employee. Robots can also take over jobs that are dangerous for a human to do and perform the task at a higher success rate as well. In February of 2017 an article written by Kristin Houser explained how, a precision technology company in China replaced 90% of human employees with robots and saw 250% increase in production. A few of the issues with robots include the time needed to integrate and program
The robots are taking over!!! This is the idea that Kevin Kelly stresses and elaborates on in his article “Better than Human:Why Robots Will-and must-Take Our Jobs”. The article focuses on automation in the workplace and how most of the jobs that are currently done by humans will be taken over by robots in the future. Kelly believes that this is inevitable and that it is a positive thing. While I believe that most of our jobs will be taken over in the future, I do not think that Kelly did a great job at trying to prove his point and his argument was mediocre.
Boston Consulting Group predicts that up to a quarter of jobs will be replaced by either smart software or robots by 2025, and a study from Oxford University suggests that 35% of current jobs are in jeopardy of being eliminated by automation in the next 20 years. It is reasonable to believe that machines/robots are unlikely to replace entire jobs, but are likely to take the place of certain roles and specific tasks in different procedures within an
The article, “As Amazon Pushes Forward with Robots, Workers Find New Roles,” by Nick Wingfield, is an article that demonstrates the benefits of autonomous robots but not at the cost of human jobs. According to Wingfield, Amazon has emerged as the forefront company of automation by integrating robots into their warehouses making workers jobs less tedious, physically taxing, and making work more efficient. Workers are now in charge of babysitting autonomous robots, replenishing inventory, and are in charge of grabbing items off the shelves and take them to be processed and send out to consumers, while the autonomous robots do all the hard labor.
This story is that, during the mid 21 century, because of the thaw of the iceberg that was floating in the Arctic, thus human created the Artificial Intelligence to help themselves to face the terrible environment easily. David is a robot like them. But he is the only one that is written into the love. As the first robot has love, he became the experimental article to be a kid for a couple who lost their son. As the time goes by, David still can’t join this family, and the couple thinks he can’t rather than their son exactly, so they make a decision to send to the company that created him to destroy him. However, they didn’t want to finally, but David can’t stay with them anymore. David thinks they don’t like him because he is not a real boy, if he can be a real boy, he will hear stories by his mother before he goes to bed, although he never need to sleep. So he still has a dream that one day, he will be a real boy, because he wants to be with his mother. His best friend and guide, Teddy helped him to find his dream and he says he will see him become a real boy. There is only one hope, Blue Fairy can help him to achieve him dream. However, you know, he did find her, but he was freezed with his best hope, Blue Fairy...
I think that at some point in every person’s life they will have thought of how robots are going to someday take over the world. Most people love robots or even the thought of one. Whether it is a phone or the idea of one taking the stressful job no one wants to take. But, people are only thinking about how robots are benefiting them now not so much about how they can also affect future life in a negative way. In Kevin Kelly’s article, “Better Than Human: Why Robots Will -- and Must -- Take Our Jobs,” he writes about the increasing of automation in the workplace. He believes that it must occur because it will benefit our society and increase productivity. Although Kelly decided to write about a situation that needs to be addressed and instilled many solid examples, his writing will not impact the opinion a person already has on the topic.
Robots are important to humans in the workforce, even though, it may not appear so. In Better than Humans: Why Robots Will- and Must- Take Our Jobs, Kelly initially unsettles the reader by noting that our, “job [will be] taken by machines”- if not already taken (Kelly 300). The reason why
Robots have taken over the... Jobs industry. Robots have been globally popularized thanks to films like Star Trek and Star Wars, films that have fascinated people all over the world to the idea of living with robots in our daily lives. Since the start of the industrial revolution there were many speculations and fears to what automated machines could do. Many feared loosing their jobs others feared making less money in competing against machines, yet the industrial revolution brought the exact opposite. In the Principles of Scientific Management wrote in 1911 by Frederick Winslow states that the increase in demand for labor was significantly increased by the incorporation of machines because it required more skillful labors to operate the new machines in factories (16). As technology continues to progress, the workforce will continue to grow in a cooperative process between machine and man. Furthermore, with an incorporation of robots in the work force, companies will
Robots are used in factories and even in people’s homes. So what if the Terminator film series got it right? Human workers, who work in factories, machineries, mills, everyday human controlled jobs like cash registers operators, are being replaced by robotic automation. This is a major problem for the everyday employee. Jobs that were once held by human workers, are now being replaced every day by robot “workers”.
An MIT engineer has founded a mechanical engineering company name Rethink Robotics. This company invented an industrial robot called “Baxter” that does not take months to install as well as being very cheap (Schulz). It takes less than 10 minutes to install (Baxter). Just by simply plugging it in, this piece of technology can be made ready to assume production line functions in less than an hour, at a flat fee of just $22,000 (Schulz). Even though this seems like a lot, just think about this. The average American makes roughly $32,000 a year (Average Joe). If someone works for $32,000 dollars a year, with in two years, the cost of an employee would be more than double that of installing a simple machine. This is just evidence, that companies will be replacing people, for machines. This will most likely be sooner than
...tired or making mistakes, leading to improved quality. Robots help achieve higher production quality at a reduced operating cost compared to manual manufacturing. They help produce more parts with fewer defects using less equipment while maintaining their flexibility for future changes. Their capability is only increasing with time. Major robot manufacturers are regularly upgrading their robots with increased greater accuracy, payload capacity, increased reach and range of motion, speed and acceleration, faster communication with better safety features, lower operational cost and external equipment. Modern industrial robots offer different and multiple benefits and advantages. They have single-freely transformed products, companies and facilities. Recent developments have made industrial robots more affordable, user-friendly, easier and intelligent than ever before.
America is on the verge of another golden age thanks to industrial robots. Industrial grade manufacturing robots are revolutionizing industry as we know it. These mechanical machines are making possible, the mass production needed to satisfy the demand of the seven-billion people on the earth. Companies and businesses are saving millions of dollars by using industrial robots as part of their manufacturing teams. Industrial robots are beneficial to modern manufacturing in the U.S. as depicted by the many flourishing factories such as CBS Boring and Alfe.
Two years ago, the Chrysler corporation completely gutted its Windsor, Ontario, car assembly plant and within six weeks had installed an entirely new factory inside the building. It was a marvel of engineering. When it came time to go to work, a whole new work force marched onto the assembly line. There on opening day was a crew of 150 industrial robots. Industrial robots don't look anything like the androids from sci-fi books and movies. They don't act like the evil Daleks or a fusspot C-3P0. If anything, the industrial robots toiling on the Chrysler line resemble elegant swans or baby brontosauruses with their fat, squat bodies, long arched necks and small heads. An industrial robot is essentially a long manipulator arm that holds tools such as welding guns or motorized screwdrivers or grippers for picking up objects. The robots working at Chrysler and in numerous other modern factories are extremely adept at performing highly specialized tasks - one robot may spray paint car parts while another does spots welds while another pours radioactive chemicals. Robots are ideal workers: they never get bored and they work around the clock. What's even more important, they're flexible. By altering its programming you can instruct a robot to take on different tasks. This is largely what sets robots apart from other machines; try as you might you can't make your washing machine do the dishes. Although some critics complain that robots are stealing much-needed jobs away from people, so far they've been given only the dreariest, dirtiest, most soul-destroying work. The word robot is Slav in origin and is related to the words for work and worker. Robots first appeared in a play, Rossum's Universal Robots, written in 1920 by the Czech playwright, Karel Capek. The play tells of an engineer who designs man-like machines that have no human weakness and become immensely popular. However, when the robots are used for war they rebel against their human masters. Though industrial robots do dull, dehumanizing work, they are nevertheless a delight to watch as they crane their long necks, swivel their heads and poke about the area where they work. They satisfy "that vague longing to see the human body reflected in a machine, to see a living function translated into mechanical parts", as one writer has said. Just as much fun are the numerous "personal" robots now on the market, the most popular of which is HERO, manufactured by Heathkit.

Think back to a time way before mass production and the inventions that powered them. A time when everything was made by hand with blood, sweat and time. These goods usually faced many problems quality wise, took longer to produce and could not be made any smaller because of human inability. Today, when people buy something new they usually don't think about who made it and what had to happen to create it. While most people can think of foreign workers making all of their products there is also another worker which plays a major role in the production of goods in our world. The robot creates and assembles many of the goods we have which couldn’t have even been done by humans and save us work which would have been excruciatingly time consuming or difficult. While many may think that robots are something that has only been around recently and will of only be of any use in the future when they can do all of our work for us except they have been around since prehistoric time. Robotics and innovation have taken the world to the next level, and as time continues robots are going to drive the way into the future. These mechanical devices have revolutionized the way our world works. Robots have played an important role in society since the beginning of time with automatons, presently in manufacturing and a variety of other tasks, and in the future when they will be able to tend to our everyday needs and our society.
With the development of technology in the world, people are faced with many things they never saw and knew before. In this modern life, technology has affected a lot of people’s lives in many levels. Robots are considered as important products of technology. Robots were introduced by a writer, Karel Čapek, from the Czech word, robota, meaning “forced labor” or “serf”. Čapek used this word in his play, R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) which opened in Prague in January, 1921, a play in which an Englishman named Rossum mass-produced automata. The automata, robots, are meant to do the world’s work and to make a better life for humans; but in the end they rebel, wipe out humanity, and start a new race of intelligent life for the robots themselves (Asimov, 1984). Robot does not have a specific definition itself, every dictionary has a slightly different definition. “Deciding if a machine is or is not a robot is like trying to decide if a certain shade of greenish blue is truly blue or not blue,” said Carlo Bertocchini, the owner of RobotBooks.com. “Some people will call it blue while others will vote not blue,” (Branwyn, 2004). This essay will limit the meaning of robot as what defined in the Merriam Webster Dictionary (2004), robot is a machine that looks and acts like a human being, an efficient but insensitive person, a device that automatically performs especially repetitive tasks, and something guided by automatic controls. As the technology grows more modern each day, scientists and programmers are creating and improving the function of robots. Nevertheless, many people are still debating should robots be developed more and should robots be used in everyday life. I disagree that the further development of robots should be remain...
