First of all, the driver
Autopilot technology is becoming more and more mature, and it may really replace the "old driver" in the future.
On August 8, Chongqing and Wuhan took the lead in releasing the pilot policy of unmanned commercialization of autonomous driving, allowing self-driving vehicles without drivers and safety officers to carry out commercial services on social roads. Artificial intelligence, which will not be tired, can gallop on the road 24 hours a day to provide security services for people who go home at night. This means that occupations such as taxis, online car rides and even truck drivers really have the possibility of being replaced.
The advancement of autonomous driving technology has also brought applications such as unmanned sanitation vehicles and unmanned logistics distribution vehicles to the ground, which may lead to the drivers of these vehicles being replaced by AI.
Second, the cashier
Self-service cashier has been widely used in large supermarkets and convenience stores. Some self-service cashier equipment can also automatically identify goods, weigh and calculate prices through AI technology, which greatly improves cashier efficiency and reduces labor costs.
In addition, in the retail field, AI technology can also realize commodity identification, global tracking and matching of people and goods. Self-service vending machines and unmanned retail stores have appeared on the streets of many cities, which scan codes to open doors and automatically check out and deduct money after taking out goods. If it can be widely used in the future, it will greatly reduce the number of cashier positions.
Third, the warehouse administrator
In the future, sorting out warehouses and picking up goods may all be done by robots.
Grading, tabulating, placing goods and inventory ... The work of warehouse administrators is monotonous and follows the same process every day and week. Until the application of radio frequency identification, data acquisition, Internet of Things and other technologies, administrators can know where the goods are and what is on the shelves with a machine sweep, which makes the warehousing logistics develop from a "manual warehouse" to a mechanized and intelligent stage. Intelligent robot with visual recognition ability can automatically purchase, ship and tally goods, which is more accurate and orderly than manual work, and its efficiency and speed are also improved, thus further reducing the dependence on manual work and reducing operating costs.
Fourth, construction workers.
What construction workers do every day is manual work, simple and repetitive work, which can be completely completed by artificial intelligence robots.
At present, domestic products and technologies such as construction robots, building information model (BIM) and new assembled buildings can all cooperate in engineering projects. From design drawings to survey site to construction, artificial intelligence is widely used in the field of architecture. Country Garden has applied robots covering the whole building cycle and seven major processes, such as ground leveling robot, mortar spraying robot, ground grinding robot and floor tile paving robot. Among them, the ground grinding robot can not only grind the ground around the column as flexibly as workers, but also recycle the dust generated during construction through dust collection system, which greatly improves the construction environment and is likely to replace workers in harsh environments in the future.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) translation
Natural language understanding is known as "the jewel in the crown of artificial intelligence", which has been touched by many technology companies-it is not difficult for ——AI to translate daily conversations.
Not long ago, "Na Ying and Jessica exchanged and pulled out the translation" on the hot search. In the video, singer Na Ying takes out a translator to communicate with Korean star Jessica because she can't speak language. Different from the stubbornness and lag of "machine translation" in the impression, when Na Ying speaks Chinese, the translation can be accurately expressed in English, as if there is a simultaneous interpreter sitting behind him.
When AI can understand natural language, combined with machine learning, knowledge map and neural network technology, it can replace not only labor-intensive work. Richard Susskind, the science and technology adviser to the British Chief Justice, pointed out in his book "What Jobs Will Artificial Intelligence Take" that AI also industrialized and digitized professional jobs such as medical care, education, law, journalism, management consulting, taxation and auditing. For example, at present, the accuracy of finding lesions by artificial intelligence reading has exceeded that of many human imaging doctors.
Fortunately, these technologies have not yet reached complete "artificial intelligence", and they are only tools to assist human beings. But the threshold is that in the future, both manual workers and intellectual workers will not be replaced by artificial intelligence unless they master the tools and use them for me.
