Summary:

How smart are robots?

Tones:

Informational

Description:

Although we see robots on TV and the movies, they are as smart as a cockroach. They take 6 hours to walk across the room. They cannot understand a simply fairy tale.
There are two reasons why we don't have robots.
a) pattern recognition
b) common sense problem.

This means that the future of the job market will depend on
which jobs robots can eliminate, and which they canno.
