Japan Airlines will introduce the robots for trial run at a Tokyo airport amid country’s surge in inbound tourism and worsening labour shortages
Every country will experience labor shortages at some point, it’s unavoidable
But why? Labor productivity is thousands of times higher than before the industrial revolution, and keeps growing exponentially.
We actually should be able to provide all goods and services we need to live comfortably with very few people actually having to work.
But we need most of those people to do bullshit jobs, like spreadsheets and reports no one is going to ever read
because the increased productivity comes from using tools, and so they are introducing another tool to keep increasing the productivity.
