ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AUGMENTED REALITY, DRONES, ROBOTS AND CLOUD COMPUTING ARE ALL HELPING AN INDUSTRY, SHIPPING AND LOGISTICS, IRONICALLY KNOWN FOR ITS INEFFICIENT PRACTICES, ACTUALLY IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCIES.

HOWEVER, AS THE INDUSTRY BECOMES

MORE EFFICIENT, WHAT ARE ITS EFFECTS ON

THE WORKERS, PARTICULARLY THE

LOW-SKILLED ONES?

WE POSED THIS QUESTION TO OUR SOCIAL MEDIA AUDIENCE AND NOT SURPRISING, 88% OF

THE RESPONSE NOTED THAT LOW-SKILLED WORKERS ARE AT RISK OF LOSING THEIR JOBS TO THESE NEW TECHNOLOGICAL

ADVANCES.

AUTOMATION IS DRIVING

IF YOU LOOK AT THE JOB ECOSYSTEM WITH A HOLISTIC VIEW, IT FOLLOWS THE FUNDAMENTALS

OF ENERGY. JOBS ARE NOT CREATED OR DESTROYED BUT TRANSFERRED FROM ONE

DOMAIN TO ANOTHER…YES, ROBOTS/MACHINES WILL REDUCE EFFORTS FOR CERTAIN WORK, BUT

IT WON'T CREATE ANY THREAT TO JOBS IN GENERAL.

HOWEVER, AS THE INDUSTRY BECOMES

MORE EFFICIENT, WHAT ARE ITS EFFECTS ON

THE WORKERS, PARTICULARLY THE

LOW-SKILLED ONES?

AUTOMATION IS INTERACTING WITH OTHER MAJOR SOCIETAL FORCES, SUCH AS

IMMIGRATION AND SOCIETAL AGING. ONE REASON THAT CHINA IS PUTTING A MAJOR FOCUS

ON AUTOMATION IS THAT THEY EXPECT THEIR WORKFORCE TO SHRINK. ALSO, IF THERE IS MORE

COMPETITION FOR LOW-SKILL JOBS, THAT MAY DISCOURAGE IMMIGRATION.

- Moshe Vardi, an expert on artificial intelligence at Rice University

AUTOMATION IS INDEED HAVING AN EFFECT ON EMPLOYMENT. US MANUFACTURING EMPLOYMENT HAS BEEN FALLING FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS BUT OUTPUT IS NEAR ITS ALL-TIME HIGH THANKS TO AUTOMATION.

INDEED, THESE NEW TECHNOLOGIES PROMISE PRODUCTIVITY GAINS FOR SUCH TASKS AS PICKING. ASSUMING ROBOTS ARE IN CONTINUOUS USE, ROLAND BERGER NOTES THEY CAN BE FOUR TO SIX TIMES MORE EFFICIENT THAN HUMAN OPERATORS (UP TO 800 ITEMS PER HOUR).

MCKINSEY & CO. ESTIMATES THAT 59% OF ALL MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES COULD BE AUTOMATED. THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE JOBS ARE THOSE REQUIRING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OR THE OPERATION OF MACHINERY. IN FACT AUTOMATION RISK IS 78% IF A JOB INVOLVES RUNNING A MACHINE, ESPECIALLY IN A PREDICTABLE ENVIRONMENT.

TECHNOLOGY KEEPS IMPROVING OUR WORLD

IF YOU LOOK AT THE JOB ECOSYSTEM WITH A HOLISTIC VIEW, IT FOLLOWS THE FUNDAMENTALS

IN THE END, IT IS TECHNOLOGY ONCE AGAIN IMPROVING THE WAY WE LIVE OUR LIVES AND DO BUSINESS. INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES CAN PERHAPS GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE AND DEVELOP OTHER SKILLS

ALL IN ALL, SOFTWARE AND OVERALL TECHNOLOGY WILL DRIVE THE FUTURE. IT ALREADY IS IMPROVING OUR WORLD AND GLOBAL TRADE IMMENSELY.

AS MR. KAMAT SAID, "JOBS ARE NOT CREATED OR DESTROYED BUT TRANSFERRED FROM ONE DOMAIN TO ANOTHER." IF WE MUST LEARN OTHER SKILLS AND STRENGTHS, ONCE WE REACH OUR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL, THAT TOO MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO AUTOMATION.
