Whenever I try to write away from Corona, I find I have to go through the topic again, and it seems that this virus has the ability to unite the world as well as change it irreversibly, and what many countries have failed in, the virus has succeeded in forcing us to do it. Universities or government institutions are serious about relying on studying or working remotely, but now that has become the only option, voices that had reservations about information security or the loss of the human component in the process have become silent, as reducing the involvement of the human factor has become the best option. But the subject is not all advantages, there are serious threats to come that we may not be able to absorb at the moment because of our preoccupation with the current crisis, but there will be crises that follow the current crisis, the most important of which is the robot's control over our lives.
In an interesting report published by the BBC's Zoe Thomas on April 19, 2020, she warned that the crisis of “Covid-19” had accelerated the robot’s control over aspects of life, as companies expanded the use of robots to increase social distance. , And reduce the number of employees who have to work physically. Robots are also used to perform the roles that workers cannot do from home, and many major retailers such as Walmart are using robots on a very large scale, and in Amazon there are thousands of them all the time. In Korea and many European countries, they are used to measure temperatures and distribute hand sanitizers, and fast food restaurants such as McDonald are also considering using them as chefs, which has led to increased demand for our new partners, and UVD Robots manufactures large numbers and ship them to countries like China, which are already larger Robotics factory in the world.
It may be more expensive to integrate robots into business nowadays, but in the long run it will cost less, and the role the robot will never return to the human being again, especially as artificial intelligence is being developed that can replace teachers, trainers and counselors, and even doctors and nurses. The author concludes with reference to a report released by global consulting firm McKinsey in 2017 that expects a third of US workers to be replaced by automation and robotics by 2030. But it now appears that these expectations will be fulfilled much sooner. The important question is, are we ready and aware of the volume of change that will sweep everything before it, or are we still in the stage of fascination with these technological creatures and do not realize what it harms us ?!
