New laws of robotics: an apology of human knowledge in the era of artificial intelligence

Recently, the management consultants that have appeared in abundance have been drawing the prospects of labor in the future: if the car can do the same as you, then your work will be automated. They convince businessmen and politicians that all experts, from doctors to soldiers, will not be needed, since constantly developing artificial intelligence will come in their place. And therefore, an appropriate, in their opinion, alternative is proposed: do robots, or they will replace you.
But another situation is possible. In almost all areas of life, robotic systems can increase, rather than lowering the value of labor. Frank Paskuale tells how nurses, teachers, designers and other specialists can cooperate with those who develop technologies, and not serve as a source of data for computer devices that should replace them. Such cooperation shows us the technological development that can give human society more high -quality healthcare, education and much more, while preserving meaningful labor. Such a partnership also demonstrates that law and regulation can stimulate universal prosperity, and not a game with a zero amount in which people would be forced to compete with cars.
To what extent the tasks previously performed by people should be entrusted with artificial intelligence? What is won at the same time and what is lost? What is the optimal combination of human and robotic interactions? The “new laws of robotics” proves that politicians and officials should not allow corporations or engineers to answer these questions alone. The way automation will occur, and to whom it will benefit, depends on thousands of small solutions that determine the path of development of artificial intelligence. Pasquale offers ways to democratize the decision -making process that confront its centralization in firms that do not report to anyone. The book offers an optimistic path of formation of technological progress, in which human abilities and expert knowledge become an indispensable center of the inclusive economy
