I will plug the essay that I have written for school: Technology is advancing rapidly and while this creates lots of new possibilities for humanity such as automating the jobs that require heavy labor and hopefully making life easier for the people but our society can’t always keep up with all these technological advancements. The reasons for the increasing skepticism towards these technologies that workers have is also important to take a look at.

First of all the benefits that new technologies that are coming out such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are hard to ignore. Even a mundane and boring task such as replying to work emails can be automated. This helps people to free up their schedules and lets them spend more time with their friends and family.

Another pretty significant benefit of artificial intelligence is automation of hard labor such as construction work. Thanks to AI both simple and tedious tasks that people don’t want to complete can be automated, therefore the improvement of these technologies is very important for our society.

Even though the benefits of the ever improving technology and automation are significant, there is another more sinister side to them. Automation is supposed to automate difficult tasks and help free up time for workers but it instead hurts workers by encouraging employers to replace their workers with artificial intelligence. Since AI is cheaper than real workers, people are losing their jobs or working under living wage to be able to compete with AI.

Moreover the huge corporations developing these automation technologies aren’t trustworthy. Most popular and mature Artificial Intelligence models are profit driven which means they don’t care for customers except for the money in their pocket, and the data that they can provide them to develop their AI further.

All in all the new technologies that provide automations can on paper be incredibly advantageous for people but under a capitalistic society that is profit driven, the benefits they bring are mostly for corporations but not for the regular people.
