Human who robbed the robot to live will live in the virtual reality world, pointed out by Huber-Noah Harari of "Sapiens Total History"

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the expectation that a robot works instead of human beings increases, and the voice of uneasiness that robots are deprived of work is also being born. World best selling "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind(Sapiens Total History)"Historian Huber Noah Harari, well-known author of the book, is sharply considering the future of human beings who are losing their jobs while incorporating black humor.

◆ The world where robots work instead of humans
Along with the development of artificial intelligence technology, a lot of reports are reported that many professions are lost and a great response has been invoked.

In areas such as taxi drivers and sales of insurance agencies that are supposedly displaced by machines in the near future and surely eliminated, a large number of unemployed people will be created. With the advent of the AI ​​substitute unemployment age, the need to create new employment is being questioned, Mr. Harari said, "It is important to create new employment that" human beings can demonstrate superior ability over algorithm " We think that it is impossible for AI to create possible values ​​only for human beings, given the risk of simply substituting AI for the moment of creating new employment even sooner or later.

Nonetheless, it is also true that the emergence of robots who work in behalf of human beings has the aspect that "human beings are released from labor". Even if the robot lives only for "eating and sleeping" if the robot produces food for human beings, human beings can live without working. However, apart from people who have their own worth not being substituted for robots, most people who do not have the meaning of working will lose their meaning, so it seems necessary to find a new meaning to change to that.

◆ Ultimate Killing Time
If working is no longer a necessary condition to live, "free time" will fall down to humans. Mr. Harari thinks that the problem of "How do you spend your free day?" With the emergence of robots as human beings can not keep doing nothing and being forced to live inadvertently, I will.


In order to compensate for this spare time, Mr. Harari is considering some actions that humans can take.

· 1: computer game
Mr. Harari points out that "computer games" may be chosen by humans for killing time. "Games for killing time" seems to be thought of as an old idea, but since the unrealistic experience in the virtual reality (VR) space is more exciting and attractive than in the real world, There are more people to be impressed. Even as technology evolves, the more you evolve, the more the computer game world may become the best "kill time".

· 2: Religion
Mr. Harari points out "religious activities" as a person who has time to spend a lot of time spending a lot of time. According to Mr. Harari, people with religious belief are like playing a VR game. For example, Muslims follow the precepts (rules) that "do not speak pork". In addition, godly Christians will follow the rule "Do not have sex with sex." These rules are "laws" which exist only in the imagination of human beings, and because they do not prohibit Natural Law (natural law), they have characteristics like virtual reality games is.

Religious activities like as if playing a game like "getting points by praying everyday", "point loss if forgetting prayer", "moving to the next level world (heaven)" if you earn enough points People may appear. And, although the tool to raise the belief in the past was a Bible, in the future a smartphone that can experience the VR space may become a substitute for the Bible.

◆ Virtual reality existing within a human being
Mr. Harari, who expresses the future world with a bitter satirical and humorous expression, said that virtual reality has a high possibility of giving new meanings to those who lost meaning to work in the robotic era thinking about. And the virtual reality may occur in the computer, it may occur in the form of new ideology or religion in the "outside" of the computer, or that they may be in a fused form . Regardless of whether or not you use a computer, the inner creativity of human creates a new world of virtual reality. By 2050 the possibility of the future visited is infinite, and no one knows what kind of world will come, he says.
