Europe prepares laws for robot workers revolution

The European Parliament (EP) prepares to discuss the first step of robot regulation to move forward to create a European code of conduct in this area and forecast that the application of income mechanisms basically the whole population is very necessary before the new movements of the labor market.

According to a correspondent in Brussels, the EP is considering a draft resolution aimed at making requests to the European Commission to build a legal framework for the use of robots for civilian use. When the document was built by the committee, a first set of European laws on robots will be born. In addition to ethical issues, responsibilities and other dangers that can threaten people, European MPs will have to analyze the potential changes when implementing the overall automation of the labor sector.

Over the past time, the use of robots has contributed to a strong revolution in manufacturing. In addition to using robots in industrial production, the use of Chatbots (robots that can communicate) at switchboards or digitized programs in marketing and social media is being evaluated. high.

Germany is a pioneer in robotics and according to VDMA engineers association, the German robot market has recorded a 7% growth in 2015 compared to 2014 with a record turnover of 12.2 billion euros. . According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), statistics in Germany show that for every 10,000 workers, there are 301 robots. Regarding industrial robots, Germany has always been at the forefront of Europe and ranked 4th in the world, after South Korea, Japan and Singapore.

The risk of using robots is causing much controversy.

European MPs are worried that mass use of robots will have negative consequences on the job market. According to the draft resolution, a new era will be opened in which smart, modern robots can create an industrial revolution and risk to affect all social classes.

The European Parliament document requires the Council of Europe (EC) to closely monitor future job transition to determine the amount of work created and lost when using robots. If automation is seen as the culprit that destroys employment, the draft resolution should pay attention to seriously considering the issue of universal income.

The risk of using robots is causing much controversy. According to business expert Olivier Mendel, in any case, using robots means that there will be fewer jobs for people. The goal of using machines is to replace people and to take on tasks without human intervention. However, using robots also contributes to creating other jobs than today.

Several experts assessing Parliament reports are an initial step in developing regulations related to automation. Mr. Olivier Mendel said that Europe's interest in law making in this area is very good and stresses that the issue needs to be discussed thoroughly in all member countries.

For professionals, the problem is not only to use robots to work, but also how to use them to create the highest efficiency. In 10 years, people can only work 4 to 5 hours a day.
