Final Topics

This week I want to focus on the possibility of thinking machines and what that means for human society as a whole. There are many advantages to machines entering the workforce as employees. To begin, Fekety states that the chance of error while using machines is very minimal which would increase precision and accuracy (2015). He also suggest that this would allow painfully boring task to be taken over by machines. Although this sounds like an amazing alternative to humans getting bored of their work, would robots be able to show care in area such as hospitals or hospitality jobs? One of the bigger concerns is that if machines took over the job market then there would be an increase in unemployment. Are we really ready to give up human morals and ethics to create an easier life for companies?
