Industrial revolution and AI (edited)

Like any science or technology, AI is a force that can be used both for good and evil. It has its implications, for example taking over the jobs of people. The truth of the matter is, artificial intelligence can replace people in thought-intensive jobs, just like how the industrial revolution replaced people in more labor-intensive and mechanistic jobs. It was unavoidable that people who only possess mechanical skills will be replaced with machines that are less erroneous, more efficient and cheaper. And as the saying goes, “History repeats itself.”; the same thing will happen with the rise of AI. Having established that the development of artificial intelligence is inevitable, there is no point in being caught up with the question of whether or not jobs will be taken away, but rather we should evaluate the approaches to be taken in order to cope with such reform in our society.
