automation – Follower of THE WAY Forever

Cafe DAWN

I saw an Instagram post about the cafe DAWN (Diverse Avatar Working Network) in Tokyo, Japan that is utilizing artificially intelligent robot waiters for remote use workers with disabilities. The robots, created by Ory Labs, inc., were specifically designed for extending inclusion into the workforce for people with disabilities.

These workers are bed bound and can’t perform an 8 hour job. They can wait tables remotely via the robot. This is wonderful for the workers. However, there are some who have major concerns about the integration of advanced artificial intelligence-based automation.

The Caution over Artificial Intelligence and Animation

Artificial Intelligence and robotics have been receiving major backlash due to its current low positive impactful, potential to replace human workers via automation in an already shrinking job market, and the unpredictability of Artificial Intelligence as well as its lack of common sense. For the whole of mankind, Artificial Intelligence is the Frankenstein monster that has the potential to bring about the obsolescence of Mankind. Its reach isn’t only limited to the service and manual labor fields. As AI and Automation has reached into education, law enforcement, religion, social engagements such as marriage and relationships, parenting, adult products and services (it may even end the demand for human sex workers), the need for human input or influence will become less. This will be the big picture that can put severe limitations on the continual development and growth of mankind. It can make mankind more dependent on governing rulers who, having such technology in their hands, can become tyrannical dictators far beyond the likes of Hitler. Indeed, without GOD, mankind will consider its fate to be in the hands of government rulers who control resources such food, water, and other necessities.

Upside of a Downside

The restaurants use of the robots is noble. However, this restaurant is one of few examples that implement the use of Artificial Intelligence and Automation for as tools to benefit the greater good of the mass population rather than tools to maximize profits. Hopefully, this is the direction that that use of Artificial Intelligence will take. I hope that persons with disabilities will not be exploited to condition the mass populace to accept Artificial Intelligence and Automation. We must be careful. We want to help those in need.
