Intelligent robots will be more widely used in the future. Is this a blessing or a curse? What is your opinion?
Robots in science fictions and movies are depicted as either our servants or our enemies, but seldom our friends. Though I don't believe they will rebel against or win a war against us, the using of robots could lead to rather undesirable consequences.
As has happened when industrial machinery was first introduced, the extensive use of intelligent robots is likely to cause vast unemployment. Numerous workers, not only those working with their hands but also those working with their brains, will lost their jobs when robots learn to handle their work. Other things being equal, robots are preferred by employers on account of their reliability, cost effectiveness and the unlikelihood of going to strikes. Assemble lines and computers, for instance, have already taken jobs from thousands of employees. Thus, people in the future will have to vie with robots in their quest for a job.
Having said all that, it must be pointed out that mankind will always find its way. In a large sense, robots are just another human invention, nothing more. There is no sound reason that we would be overwhelmed by this contrivance. The benefits robots can bring are enormous. To begin with, robots can be assigned to work in dangerous and harsh environments. With their physical and mechanical superiority over humans, robots are suited for exploring deep oceans, the moon and even human blood vessels, which offers infinite possibilities for medical treatment. Moreover, the reliability and incorruptibility of intelligent robots are invaluable in our fight againt corruption. To err is human, but rarely robots. Bribery and peer pressure don't work for robots.
As I see it, robots are not different from other human inventions, which are never perfect. Someone will always be adversely affected, but the befefits far outweigh its damages. Thus we should learn to adapt.
