Paničari zamišljaju da će roboti jednostavno zameniti ljude na poslu. U stvari, oni mogu da postanu naši neophodni saradnici, koji bi nas rasteretili jednoličnih i mehaničkih poslova. Rodni Bruks ističe koliko bi to moglo da bude vredno s obzirom na opadanje broja radno aktivnih ljudi i porast broja penzionera. Upoznaje nas sa Baksterom, robotom pokretnih očiju i ruku osetljivih na dodir, koji bi mogao da radi i pored sve starije populacije i koji bi takođe mogao da nauči kako da im pomaže u kući.


Zašto ćemo se oslanjati na robote?

As populations age and fewer adults remain in the workforce, robots will become essential partners rather than job-stealers. Decades ago, librarians feared losing their jobs to computers, but actually saw wages and roles improve as technology became a tool, not a threat. Factory workers now train user-friendly robots like Baxter to handle repetitive tasks, freeing people for more meaningful work. With demographic shifts accelerating, society will rely on machines to help maintain productivity and independence.
