Subject: Professional ethics in computing

6. What evidence has been given to show that automation eliminates jobs? What evidence has been given to show that automation creates more jobs than it destroys?

Answer 1

To answer this question first we need to understand what is automation , Automation is the application of technology, programs, robotics or processes to achieve outcomes with minimal human input.

Evidence of automation eleminates jobs is given below :- 40% drop in manufacturing employment despite 39% population increase in US during same period, yet manufacturing output doubled during same period.

But when we talk about automation creates more job than it eleminates than there is no evidence for this because in automation the task is complete as lesser time with compare to human with more accuracy so every operator first need is automation and sometimes labour are costly than automation so that's why automation eleminates jobs but never gives more job than it eleminates.
