AI robots are already creating "hellish dystopia" by stealing human jobs, professor warns

A professor of electrical and computer engineering at The University of Oklahoma has issued a warning about the threat of artificial intelligence (AI) robots taking over the world. According to Dr. Subhash Kak, technological automation is already in the process of creating a "hellish dystopia" on earth, where all human jobs will eventually be replaced by fake robot "employees" that can perform them for free. Though they might seem convenient now, helping to reduce overhead and streamline various processes, AI technologies could one day plunge the world into a global depression. Should fully-functional AI robots eventually be released, claims Dr. Kak, there will be no stopping them from stealing "literally all jobs," leaving humans with nothing to do for survival. "The beginnings of the dystopia are already there," Dr. Kak told the Daily Star Online, noting that human usefulness, at least from a pragmatic perspective, is threatened by AI technology.
