KI-Roboter könnten in ein paar Jahrzehnten die Zahl der Arbeitskräfte übertreffen, wenn die Unternehmen ihre Investitionen erhöhen

From the article 

AI robots will exceed the working population within a few decades as more firms adopt AI agents and continue to squeeze costs, a former Citi executive warned on Monday.

Rob Garlick, Citi Global Insights‘ former head of innovation, technology, and future of work, told CNBC’s „Squawk Box Europe“ that as leaders continue to prioritize profitability, their human workers will be left in the dust.

Well that’s good. Humans would find it tough labouring in 45C plus temps. ( 113 F )

Last year, there were 16000 general purpose robots, which means that there were 8000 human births per every general purpose robot built

On January 2000 more were made, pushing the ratio to 5000:1

This year it is expected that more than 100k will be built, this means, about 1000 human births per every general purpose robot, or about as many general purpose robots as new Romanians will be minted

What will the ratio be in the following years? It’s impossible to say, even getting data from 2024 was impossible, as the field is just THAT new, the general purpose robots of 2026 will undoubtedly be much more capable than those of 2025, and those of 2027 extremely better than those of 2026

I just think that this ratio is an interesting one to keep in mind

Inherently, replacing human labour with machines (robots) is a Great Thing… unfortunately it isn’t being used to free up humans from needless work but to centralise wealth in the hands of the few which instead turns it into an existential crisis.

Society desperately needs to reign in the rich and limit wealth accumulation so that we can all benefit from automation.
