A new reality The rise of the robots continues

New graduates starting a business career have plenty of challenges: landing a job, finding a place to live, scrambling to make rent—all while trying to plot the next step in their career. Increasingly, it looks like they’ll need to add another worry to the list: competing with AI robots. Over the past several years, a growing chorus of experts, including economists, technologists, and management consultants, have begun warning of widespread job losses in coming decades as advances in artificial intelligence and automation enable machines to take on more and more complex tasks. For instance: Gartner, an information technology and research advisory firm, estimates a third of jobs will be replaced by software, robots, and smart machines by 2025. In a 2013 study, Oxford professors Carl Frey and Michael Osbourne found that machines could replace about 47 percent of our jobs over the next 20 years. The McKinsey Global Institute recently concluded that, just by implementing technologies that already exist, global businesses could automate 45 percent of the activities they now pay workers to perform. But some experts are less gloomy. J.P. Gownder, an analyst with the Boston-based tech research firm Forrester, argues that even as it wipes out some jobs, automation will create new ones, including some we haven’t even thought of yet. The existential fear The list of pessimists includes an imposing roster of science and technology heavyweights. The late Stephen Hawking worried robots â€Å"could spell the end of the human race.† Elon Musk, head of Tesla and SpaceX, calls artificial intelligence humanity’s â€Å"biggest existential threat† and has donated millions to efforts seeking ways to keep AI from turning on its creators. On the other hand, one of the techno-optimists’ favorite examples is agriculture. Two centuries ago, more than 80 percent of the U.S. labor force worked on farms. Today, thanks to advances in mechanization, farmers account for less than 2 percent of the U.S. workforce and we have more food at lower prices than ever. But Martin Ford, author of  Ã‚  Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future, argues the technologies driving the current transformation of the economy are different. These  brainy new bots are part of a host of other technological changes known as the â€Å"Fourth Industrial Revolution,† a brave new world in which â€Å"billions of people connected by mobile devices with unprecedented processing power† are conjoined with â€Å"emerging technology breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, materials science, and quantum computing.† These brainy new bots are part of a host of other technological changes known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Not as far-fetched as you think In 2016, the Davos World Economic Forum proclaimed the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and for those unfamiliar, the chronology is presented as follows: The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam to mechanize production The Second used electric power to create mass production The Third used electronics and information and technology to automate production Now, in the Fourth, we are experiencing a â€Å"fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres.† An early milestone in the emergence of thinking machines was May 1997, when IBM’s Deep Blue supercomputer defeated Garry Kasparov, then the world chess champion. Then in 2011, IBM’s supercomputer, Watson, triumphed over Jeopardy superstars Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. A year later, Boston-based Rethink Robots rolled out  Baxter, a friendly looking robot designed to work alongside humans on the factory floor. Built to human scale and priced at $25,000, Baxter doesn’t have to be programmed—it can learn from watching the movements of people. And, thanks to recent upgrades, Baxter’s grip is soft enough to cook an egg. More and better Baxters have since come. Amazon already has thousands of robots sorting items in its fulfillment centers and envisions replacing delivery workers with a fleet of aerial drones. Foxconn, China’s largest private employer and a primary supplier to Apple, announced that it had installed robots to eliminate 60,000 jobs in a single factory. Factory jobs aren’t the only jobs at risk. Any kind of office work that involves repetitive tasks such as reporting or preparing spreadsheets can be easily replaced with software. Whether it be a lawyer or an analyst, the Associated Press has shown that computers can generate error-free reports and even cover certain types of sporting events. And will we really need so many taxi drivers when ride-hailing platforms like Uber and Lyft can be paired with self-driving cars piloted by Google, Amazon, and Baidu? So, what jobs will be left? It isn’t clear. Optimists insist robots will free humans from drudgery and enable us to focus on the types of imaginative tasks in which humans excel. And of course, companies will still need engineers to design, program, oversee, and maintain all those computers. Ford and others fear that, while advances in technology may not eliminate human work completely, they are certain to polarize the labor market, creating higher demand for a smaller number of people with a limited set of professional and technical skills. How to survive this transformation? The best advice we can offer is to be flexible, keep learning, and prepare for the way you work to change far more rapidly than anything experienced by previous generations. Optimists insist robots will free humans from drudgery and enable us to focus on the types of imaginative tasks in which humans excel.

The Effects Of Anger Management And Trauma On Younger...

Are more children susceptible to have problems more anger problems after having some type of trauma? Children who have experienced trauma tend to present problems related to the inability to manage emotions and aggressive behaviors. A child can experience one or more different types of trauma over several different years or at once. Trauma for a child can be physical, sexual, emotional, medical, disasters, terrorism and many more. Children who experience trauma react in both physiological and psychological ways. When children have reactions such as emotional upsets, depressive symptoms, anxiety, behavioral changes, difficulties with attention, and so on, these children with these reactions tend to relive their trauma. Their stresses from the trauma tend to interfere with their daily life. With tons of research being done every day, there are no studies I have found with the effects of younger children being more susceptible to anger management once a trauma has happened. I want to explore the effects of anger management and trauma on younger children and find out if younger children are more susceptible to have more anger problems once a trauma has happened. How does a younger child handle the stress of trauma as they get older or do they handle it well to being with the support of family and friends. Each child will be different and each outcome will be different.
