Guardian: "Robot revolution: rise of 'thinking' machines could exacerbate inequality"
*Robot revolution: rise of 'thinking' machines could exacerbate inequality* /Global economy will be transformed over next 20 years at risk of growing inequality, say analysts/ Heather Stewart Thursday 5 November 2015 00.01 GMT A “robot revolution” will transform the global economy over the next 20 years, cutting the costs of doing business but exacerbating social inequality, as machines take over everything from caring for the elderly to flipping burgers, according to a new study.

Il report mi sembra un po' semplicistico, ci sono milioni di persone (anziani e non) che non possono permettersi cure e assitenza e che beneficerebbero dell'abbattimento dei costi. I robot sarebbero quindi forieri di uguaglianza e solidarieta', da questa prospettiva. Io penso che i lavori si evolveranno in modi imprevedibili e, se mai i robot saranno in grado di sostituirci in tutti i mestieri, vorra' dire semplicemente che vivremo senza lavorare (sono pronto al sacrificio) o che saremo schiavizzati per i lavori che i robot non vorranno fare (ma questo vorrebbe dire antropomorfizzare i robot) On 5 November 2015 at 11:17, J.C.

Premessa. Pragmaticamente, - non penso sia utile preoccuparsi in modo prioritario dei robot: oggi (e per qualche anno ancora) non sono in grado di condizionare in modo significativo la vita degli esseri umani, - è importante preoccuparsi delle macchine sociali che già ora funzionano in modo difettoso e che condizionano in modo dannoso la vita degli esseri umani (alcune multinazionali, alcuni governi e altro).
