American billionaire Elon Musk has made a high-tech plan to eradicate poverty. He is talking about a future where robots will do most of the work. People will not need to earn and they will get ‘universal high income’. Musk says that in future, humans will not need to work and they will be able to choose their lifestyle as per their own wish. Let us tell you that Musk’s company Tesla is making human-looking Optimus robots and it plans to deploy 10 lakh robots by 2030.
Optimus will do all the work requiring human labor – Musk
Musk says that in future robots will do all the work of goods and services. These robots can work without stopping and getting tired, due to which global productivity will increase more than 10 times. The benefit of this will be that the needs of every person will be fulfilled. He says that AI software can increase human productivity only to a certain extent, but when AI will be installed in machines doing physical labour, then people will not need to work.
Is the future going to be this easy?
According to Musk’s plan, in the future humans will work only as amateurs. However, his plan is also being criticized. Economists and other experts say that replacing humans with robots is not so easy and it also has many dangers. Automation increases economic inequality and those who own machines become richer. On the other hand, they also have a question that where will the money come from for the Universal High Income that Musk is talking about and which government will approve such a system.
Questions are also being raised regarding robots
Along with Musk’s plan, questions are also being raised about his Optimus robot. Tesla has planned to sell 1 million robots in the next few years, but the production of robots has not started yet. The prototype version of Optimus is capable of performing only a few tasks and is only in the early stages of development.
