■ Robots that resemble humans The world of robots is growing rapidly. The market size is expected to reach approximately 70 trillion won by 2020. The 'one robot per person' era is no longer a story of the distant future. Robots have already become deeply embedded in our daily lives. Recently, a robotics engineer who married a robot he created appeared in China. Now, robots are not only helping humans, but also communicating with them. Professor Lee Ji-seon personally looked into how our daily lives are changing as robots begin to take hold. ■ Attack of AI Robots In January of this year, the European Union (UN) passed a resolution defining AI as an 'electronic human'. The content of the resolution is that 'AI can be made subservient to humans and stopped at any time if it does not'. The emergence of such regulations is evidence that the speed of AI's evolution is that fast. Gachon Gil Hospital also introduced AI 'Watson' for more accurate diagnosis. Patients' satisfaction after Watson treatment is 9 out of 10. In addition, there are newspapers where robot reporters write one third of their securities articles. We visited the site where robots are replacing many human jobs. ■ Changes in companies and society necessary in the robot era The number of people getting fired due to the introduction of artificial intelligence and robots is also increasing. Japan's Fukoku Life Insurance laid off 34 employees after introducing artificial intelligence, and RBS, the largest state-owned bank in the UK, laid off 550 investment advisors and replaced them with artificial intelligence. This trend is continuing in Korea, where Citibank announced that it would close 80% of its branches nationwide. Research reports from around the world predict that the introduction of robots will replace between 20% and 50% of human jobs. In a situation where job replacement by robots has already been predicted, unconditional layoffs can never be the answer. In the manufacturing industry, where robots are most prevalent, changes are taking place in companies to coexist with robots. We explore what changes are necessary for companies and society in the coming robot era. ■ Power of Execution Elon Musk, CEO of the American automobile company Tesla, recently made a shocking announcement. The idea is to start research on inserting computer chips into the brain to make the human brain at the level of artificial intelligence. This is so that humans can survive the upcoming competition with robots. However, what should we prepare for in order to survive the competition with robots right now? Executing given tasks and finding answers to given questions is something that robots can do. If we want to beat robots, we need to examine various possibilities, not just one right answer, and find our own answers. We covered the educational field of Professor Lee Ji-seon, who is trying to develop unique human abilities that robots do not have. ■ Maker education is necessary Our classrooms, where students listen attentively and take notes when teachers lecture, are no different from 50 years ago. This kind of education cannot respond to the rapidly changing robot era. The world's education is already making various attempts to nurture the leaders who will lead the future. Among them, maker education is at the center of the trend. We looked into the changing education through the Young Maker Workshop in Korea and the maker class at Marymount School in the United States. How are students changing through maker education, where they can make anything themselves? ※ This video is [Myungkyunmanri - Robot Era, What is the Place of Humans?] that aired on April 21, 2017. #Robot #Artificial Intelligence #AI #Job
