Hello lemmy! ^^

I was given this debate topic for an ethics class and since I really like this “small” tech savvy community that we have I wanted to know what were your thoughts.

I personally love the idea of replacing jobs so we can focus on the things we love and care (ranging from developing games to spending time with loved ones).

But on the other side I am rather scared that our society will not be able to follow the rapid growth of technology and put in place good regulations to avoid widening the gap between the top% and the rest of us

Thanks for your answers ^^

    It should probably replace us where it can, the assumption is that the displaced will be able to do other more productive work increasing productivity overall. Though if we are unable to find other work this would probably lead to either a universal basic income or laws mitigating its use. It could lead to hardships if it ever could really displace us in mass. It seems so far though it isn’t quite at a replacement level and is prone to errors itself. Probably act more as a complement to current jobs in olace of total replacement
