Unemployment

                 AI, despite making our lives easier and helping us in doing our tasks, has led to the increase in the number
                 of unemployment all across the world. AI is advancing and improving the lives of people by working for
                 them and doing some of their tasks but at the cost of the livelihood of some skilled and unskilled labourers.
                 We know that:
                    • Self-driven vehicles will replace the human driver in the future.
                    • In hospitals the robots can be used for vaccinating the patients.
                    • AI-enabled devices attached to patients' bodies can be easily monitored with a lesser number of nurses.

                    • Chatbots are replacing the humans at customer care services.
                    • In some countries courier and delivery people are already being replaced by drones and robots.
                 In factories and industries, the tasks done by labourers are replaced by AI robots and machines. All the above
                 examples show that technology is the biggest challenge in today’s time. It should be used to benefit the society
                 by creating jobs and not destroying it.



                             Task


                   At a big construction site 10 labourers are required to take bricks and mortar from ground floor to different floors
                   till 20. The manager of the company believes in giving jobs to labourers and not installing AI enabled machines to
                   do this tedious and heavy loaded task.

                   1.   Do you think the manager is doing right by employing labourers to do this kind of work? Give reasons





                   2.  List two advantages and disadvantages of using AI to get the work done at construction sites.









                                 Brainy Fact


                      When we use the internet, we all contribute to creating new data every millisecond. We make 40k search
                      queries on google each second, which amounts to 1.2 trillion searches per year. 15% of all new Google searches
                      have never been typed before.



                 AI Bias
                 AI doesn't exactly think the way we do, it doesn't necessarily share our values so the risk is that AI can be
                 malicious against us. AI systems can develop biasness and this can be problematic. Any bias can transfer from
                 the developer to the machine either at the time of designing the algorithm or at the time of giving the data to
                 the AI model.
