Self-driving cars will leave 'THIRD of population
JOBLESS' as AI sparks MASS UNEMPLOYMENT
A THIRD of the population faces sickening unemployment
because of self-driving cars, a damning prediction reveals.

Vehicles that transport people using artificial
intelligence are on course to become a frequent sight on our roads.
But if they are thrust into the mass market and prove
popular, an expert has warned they will wreak havoc on the global economy.
Professor in Computer Engineering, Dr Subhash Kak,
believes a third of jobs will be lost soon after their introduction.
It comes after his bombshell prediction, given to this
website, that AI will "sink the world into unemployed despair" in a
hellish "dystopia", because humans will be put out of work.
“Their jobs will
be gone as soon as self-driving cars are widely adopted”

And now he has revealed self-driving vehicles are going
to accelerate that process at a terrifying speed.
Asked how close we are to humans being replaced in the
workplace, Dr Kak exclusively told Daily Star Online: "I think we are
nearly there.
"For example, it has been estimated that one third
of the people in any advanced economy are engaged in transportation.
"Their jobs will be gone as soon as self-driving
cars are widely adopted.
"Why would professors like me be needed if the
lectures of the best instructor in the world are recorded and made available on
the Internet?
"Department stores are closing because they can't
compete with Amazon where the orders are filled by robots in the
warehouse."
Last year transport secretary Chris Grayling announced
self-driving cars will "soon" be tested on Brit roads ahead of their
introduction to the mass market.
Reports also emerged that AI-driver lorries are in the
works, with a three-truck platoon moving in a convoy set for trial at the end
of the year.
But Dr Kak predicts a world where robots render humans
unable to work at all, because machines will do them at a cheaper price and
work longer hours without getting tired.
He previously told us: "The beginnings of the
dystopia are already there.
"There will be massive unemployment. People want to
be useful and work provides meaning, and so the world will sink into despair.
"Policy makers have begun to speak of a minimum
guaranteed income with everyone provided food, shelter, and a smart phone, and
that will not address the heart of the problem."
