There isn't going to be a robot revolution.<p>There's going to be a gradual, century long process of integration between humans and robotics, which will radically improve productivity while population growth turns steeply negative across most of the planet and for the better.<p>What will happen to all the truckers (standard example)? We'll stop making more of them, just as we did with farmers and radio DJs and newspaper delivery boys and phone network operators and gas pumpers; existing drivers will gradually be phased out. If I ask you what you think I mean, when I say: "robot helpers" - what would you answer? Robots that help people, right? No. There are going to be millions of people working as robot helpers in the next ~30 years just in the US - humans will help the robots work better; the robots will be far more productive at what they do than humans at the exact same tasks, but most of those robots will not be able to function fully autonomously in the next century (in fact, economically it'll never be desirable to build fully autonomous robots for all tasks, quite the opposite; as such, there's no scenario where millions of human robot helpers won't be necessary). The dramatic gain in productivity the robots will bring to said tasks, will more than offset the cost of continuing to have humans that act as robot assistants.<p>Absolutely nothing will be fundamentally altered in regards to market economies, when it comes to the rise of robotics / AI etc. The premise about mass unemployment is a fear based fraud and will be proven so only as the years drift by and the mass unemployment never materialize. Unfortunately, in the meantime, the fear angle will continue to draw clicks.
