Sooner or later most of our jobs that we do today are going to be taken over by intelligent AI machines everyone is talking about it in IT tech circles. Already we have seen many jobs lost with automation. My uncles worked in the car industry making ford cars they lost their jobs in the late 80s to automated robots and machinery and so had to look for new jobs which meant financial and social upheaval for their lives at their households. And one of the values in Sikhi is doing good honest hard work and share with others. How are Sikhs meant to reconcile with this key value of doing a good days hard work if most of our jobs will be taken by AI machines? What will Sikhs do for income and staying true to Guru Nanak Ji's message? People say governments will be forced to give us all a universal wage to live on for the basics which is all well and good but as a human being we need work as a purpose to life and without work many will have a negative outlook on their lives I feel. Are Sikhs of today and tomorrow ready for the robot future?
