Industrial robots incite economic growth, a new era of intelligence is gradually approaching

The migrant worker who works in a pipeline in Dongguan is worried because of his 40-year-old age: after the rapid influx of 90, he is squeezing his work space with the strength of physical energy, so that he is worried about being fired from time to time. In the past two or three years, people who are worried about losing their jobs may not be limited to the older “uncle”. Since 2013, the number of robots in Zhejiang has replaced traditional industrial workers by about 2 million. A number continues to grow. In Guangdong, some manufacturing companies have also begun to “machine substitution” to achieve a shift from labor-intensive to skill- and knowledge-intensive.

Indeed, the rapid development of labor-replacement technology represented by robots has brought obvious benefits to enterprises—high efficiency, low cost, and stable product quality. When these results are repeatedly mentioned, the author always has a question: In the face of robots, can the "uncle" still retain his position in the new round of competition?

Let the "machine substitution" become rich in temperature

According to statistics, China has become the world's largest robot market. The number of industrial robots sold in 2014 exceeded 57,000 units, accounting for a quarter of global sales, compared with 45,000 units in the first eight months of this year. Under this trend, Uncle’s hope of retaining a position in the Guangdong assembly line is becoming rampant.

But there are also good news for him. It has been reported that the number of technicians currently operating robots in China is up to one million. This gave him a path: to carry out job training, to do the staff for the robot programming. But obviously, this road is more like the post-90s. At present, there are 300 vocational colleges in the country that offer robotic operation courses. To enter these institutions, a certain cultural foundation is needed. This is for many elementary schools and junior high schools. After 60, 70, and 70, it may be difficult.

At this time, some people put forward the idea of ​​“activating and arranging the 'old people' through the integration of new and old industries”. However, the author discussed with his colleagues, but he never knew the truth: We can't always ask companies to stop or slow down the use of artificial intelligence and robots. In this way, there are both the laws governing the allocation of resources in the market, and it is also incompatible with the era of the double creation.

Yes, artificial intelligence represented by robots and so on is benefiting mankind. What it shows us is the opposite scenery of Yunxia. But who is replaced by the machine, is he capable of swimming to the opposite side? People need to be serious about the various consequences of individual differences. If you simply look at the social Darwinism of the survival of the fittest, it will make this double-generation era lack the necessary temperature because it is too utilitarian. Although the machine is cold, letting more people share the benefits of innovation is the fundamental purpose of innovation.

According to a research report, from the employment data of more than 140 years in the UK since 1871, new technologies create more jobs than they do. In fact, there are a lot of incumbents who participate in industrial robot training in Shenzhen. They are fighting for new positions brought by “machine substitution”, except for commanders, developers, and maintenance personnel. In addition, the booming express delivery industry in recent years is also a result of the development of e-commerce. The Internet + restaurant is also bringing a new format of the catering industry, so that the express courier instantly fills the streets. These are the options for re-employment for workers who are leaving the production line. In addition, in many labor exporting places, many traditional industries that have become climatically are in need of returning employees with experience in assembly line operations.

Training, social security, job guidance, guidance, in the face of the "machine substitution" period, facing a new round of industrial upgrading, facing the people who are temporarily unable to swim to the other side, government departments, trade unions need There is still a lot to do. On November 23, Premier Li Keqiang further emphasized at the State Council executive meeting that it is necessary to carry out in-depth and meticulous staffing, improve the transfer of employee transfer training and social security costs, build more entrepreneurial platforms, broaden employment and re-employment channels, and increase difficulties. Staff employment assistance.

Innovation and transformation will always raise new issues for people and let some members of society experience pain. How to explore a path that is temperature- and socially inclusive requires careful consideration by relevant departments and enterprises.
