Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has dismissed claims robots will put an end to human labor, saying people will always want a job as it gives them “dignity”.
In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Telegraph, the billionaire boss of the software maker indicated that he does not believe in the "fallacy" that robots will overtake human labor and is confident that artificial intelligence (AI) will solve more problems than cause them.
Pitching in favor of universal basic income, Nadella suggested such mechanism may be required, in the event robots replace humans at workplaces.
"I don't believe in that lump of labor fallacy, we don't know all the jobs that are going to be there," he said in reference to robots versus human labor.
Drawing comparisons with the labor movement, pitching in favor of universal basic income, Nadella suggested such mechanism may be required, in the event robots replace humans at workplaces.
"There is a certain amount of dignity to what is work so we need to have an incentive system," Nadella said. "What I think needs to be done in 2018 is more dialogue around the ethics, the principles that we can use for the engineers and companies that are building AI so that the choices we make do not cause us to create systems with bias... that's the tangible thing we should be working on."
While supporting Britain's Brexit move, Microsoft supremo believes the UK has "great human capital, great industry, a great system" and therefore in the future it will continue to thrive, with some "turns".
