Its no longer Science Fiction robots are already infiltrating our lives and what places but would you walk for one look at it my colleague bumped into a tech trade fair. Right now ive learned directly from my programmers and teachers thats why we have no need to make connections and inferences from the happening to my environment. If you work can you also be a boss. With practice i can probably do anything. A little creepy but the robotics business is booming and our future could look very different welcome to made in germany ive been physical and for the latest in ata fishel intelligence go no further than taiwan from voice activated appliances and facial recognition to pole factories that response visuals regulating production lines the question is who will be in control machine or man german entrepreneur if we turn off debts them at a time when hes found a for us for a look at how tomorrows technologies are shaping up. A meeting at a parking lot of a mountain outside taipei flicked off thats not and sean gone are both techies in their early thirtys one from germany one from taiwan both startup founders i think as if there were never to be three hundred sports and being a lot bigger yet you just have to keep it up for a long time just cant stop yeah. Got. People questioning your belief thats the hardest thing at the beginning because youre like the only person who is going to be down to pretty up debts now set up an Internet Company in hamburg when he was sixteen. They are. Here in taiwan hes meeting people whose lives have been transformed by technology. We use or chop wood there now we have machine shop wood so part of that is being replaced and eventually i think human even human brain eventually. Maybe a lot of it will be replaced by computers they can do a lot of it. Taiwan has long been a Global Leader in the manufacture of Computers Laptops and smartphones that accounts for a fifth of its g. D. P. But its now facing strong competition from china where quality is high but costs are lowered taiwan is moving away from hardware but its Software Startup scene is thriving. One produces autonomys video Security Systems that work with Artificial Intelligence the Smart Systems are capable of learning for example they can now recognize and distinguish between different types of vehicles. We grew out of his or intelligence right so but were we build products that help to solve problems where people are really paying attention to wheels so i saw this is for security and safety so what we do is we use computers to flack importing friends for the users. With of the Smart Software can distinguish humans from other things seans firm has just received almost seven Million Dollars in fresh funding from investors Machine Learning is a growth Industry Computers can analyze huge volumes of data very fast and with great accuracy and theyre Getting Better all the time they outperform humans in some respects when application is in the Early Detection of disease by comparing a patients test results to a vast body of data. Was relatively up the music and its hard to predict how this will develop there are two schools of thought and some say it will be great will no longer have to work everything will be automated. Others wonder how we can control something that has the potential to be much more intelligent than we are. Our viewer there are. A buddhist monastery in the mountains. Schieffer you are in the used to be a rocket engineer he says the buddha welcomed technological advances but only once he had carefully weighed up the pros and cons. Many young people today are dependent on Technology Computer games and novelties like Virtual Reality technology fascinates us and many people are obsessed with it. Is for him technology is a useful tool and nothing more this device measures ones heart rate she fire you one students use it when they learn to meditate the numbers indicate whether theyre doing it right hundred never to do meditation we come. Into. The cookie we shouldnt use the technology until we fully understood it. Only then can we use it properly. We must understand and be aware of the negative impacts it might have. To why. There are some four thousand Startup Entrepreneurs in taiwan here too it can be hard to balance family life with the stresses of business. As part of Building Company your soul be the order to your to give all your time to to the company i have to work really late into like one or two am in the morning no matter how late i go to where i told my wife you have to wake me up like even if i dont move just like get up go take the case of school the only time i can you know really just hold their hand and walk of my mates for ten minutes and. Schools are among shans customers but taiwan has a population of just twenty three million so its a tiny market he says most of his Surveillance Systems to dubai in the United States the software creates Something Like a virtual wall if anyone breaches it the system triggers an alarm the Security Guard what we want to bring to him is ability for him to be mobile he may not be need to look at the screen but were. Lurking with nothing shows up he may not be in this here of what hes in as a hero instantly he casanova cation hey somebody is there you can pause before he would look at the video and does something thats a stranger you can react to that right away. The night market in taipei full of toys and games in the future people may well be playing against a computer rather than a human opponent. You know. You despise your phone and theres the example of the board game go and if there was a match involving some champion on the thirty seventh move the computer introduced a strategy that hadnt existed before the computer invented its crazy when you think about it. Then later on the ninetieth move the human player adopted the same tactic with them and thats also totally crazy. And that and that is our. Business. I think well have to get used to the computer becoming a kind of inventor that computers will become better at things that until now only human beings were good at its a kind of new reality. So hows the rise of the robots going to affect our jobs in this new reality is a lot of dull work out there that machines could do just as well if not better than us still a lot of people are happy to carry out monday in tasks for money but they may not have that option much longer. It might not be long before this truck driver is out of work self driving cars would make him redundant. And in Hotels Reception desk personnel might soon be replaced by robots. With new york itll cost us millions of jobs definitely says that automation will inevitably mean that many people will be out of work. Warehouse workers are also at risk. In some companies theyve already been replaced by robots which can work more efficiently and dont require or demand breaks. Digitalisation is changing the labor market for many the future looks bleak the services may no longer be required experts predict that about seventy five percent of todays jobs are at risk. As in filing the top speed towards the other main jobs that are under threat are those that involve routine tasks whether cognitive or manual their jobs that are routine and repetitive with a workflow that is relatively clearly defiant. Those kinds of jobs can certainly be replaced by some form of digitalisation. Here at the phone Hoover Institute research is a developing models for a future in which robots and humans work side by side. Workers need to be trained in completely new procedures which allow both robots and humans to use their respective skills in a complementary way. The robots very strong that can lift and carry objects humans on the other hand have more dexterity and are better at positioning parts and guarding the process with. Robots have already been successfully integrated into a number of industrial sectors fears that humans will be replaced or will be unable to keep up with the pace of Technological Progress a starting to subside thats partly thanks to three d. Animation like this one which allow people to virtually experience what its like to work with robots. That is did all its parts where did you go when i design and plan a work area i use Virtual Reality to get better results. After ive built the work area they use Virtual Reality to create training and testing scenarios for workers who will be using the new system. Since. Industrial production is increasingly digital are human set to become obsolete what can be done to prevent automation from becoming a job killer. For. Start Training Programs need to change theyre still lagging behind the new demands of the workplace vocational schools have yet to arrive in the digital world. A moment in our dual Vocational Training system some of the classroom curriculum is twenty years old twenty years ago we werent thinking about digitalisation and the future of the labor market in these terms so some of what were teaching now doesnt reflect the jobs of today and certainly doesnt reflect the jobs of the future. But its a little different to finished up in. Low level jobs are the only ones at risk from automation doctors may still consult with their patients personally but when it comes to diagnosis and surgery robots are playing an ever greater role. Even bankers are worried robots can be used for example to assess customers credit standing. The digital for science he is upon us some stand to gain others to lose. Lets talk about the winners and losers with economist and selfstyled lateral think im a ts vike thank you very much for coming in today mathias youve described digitisation as a tsunami rolling over germany how scary is that scenario its not just over germany its over the whole world and its not scary we have to think how we react now because a lot of shops will be redundant to mention youre late for work and do you hop in the text you just press a nap and on the way you press and other if you get your favorite coffee old machine make you look outside some buildings built by computers and robots its everywhere it doctors and so we have to take now to chance and look what we can do best out of it but we cant stop it but whens that going to be know we in the middle of it it comes bit by bit but if you look outside you notice like youve got all these little eps way you do your banking and soon youll do your office work more and more than you think what were doing was to paypal were in the middle of digitalisation what is this so much resistance here in germany then to digitization and change and new technologies when you also show that its already happening i dont know but its pretty bad if you look at the decay educational sector what we teach in school so it is this last century does this not twenty First Century and then we have to pee that because the big thing of the future is data and whereas all the data in the states and if we dont invest now a lot of money in germany into the high tech area was to get our universities and Big Companies and form mess if approach acts like new Silicon Valley we would be lost i guess thats a bit like a lot of the Nineteenth Century the weavers who destroyed the machines people on destroying computers here but germans holding back when you talk to c. E. O. s are they trying to hold back progress some do some dont badly. Will come look its impossible and im going to see a high speed train from frankfurt to stuttgart to munich and ive got no internet or slow internet and account speak on the phone sorry that wont work out in future lets look at some of the figures when it comes to corporate germany and the corporate u. S. Us being such a huge tech driver the three leading tech firms in the state of worth more than all thirty german firms that make up the blue chip dax index that is scary the market capitalization of alphabet which owns Google Microsoft and apple is half a trillion euros or is half a trillion euros bigger than that of all those German Companies so alphabet microsoft and apple put together. These guys could just go belly up the german phones couldnt easily. Pull could buy like receive this german bank and b. M. W. Do they want to why dont they do theyve got the cash lying there because obviously its not a great deal they are looking for new things and living now in a fast moving society and in what i am meant they can build message feck to rescind no it time so why should they build much of that by all once ok so were talking about old economy new economy imitates let me get back to you in a second because he mentioned education there by one popular estimate sixty five percent of children entering Primary School today will end up working in completely new job types that dont even yet exist but which ones and if we dont know yet how do we prepare them. Digitalization will destroy jobs and put many people out of work thats the fear. Others disagree. They say robots will free us from routine tasks instead well devote ourselves to mental labor and the market for interpersonal skills will bloom. Robots wont be able to fully replace teachers doctors or carers humans can respond to other people flexibly and with empathy while computers can only carry out preprogrammed tasks. New creative jobs will emerge. People will work in entirely new jobs for example affluence guides knowledge navigators or mobility agents. Robots will carve out time for new caring professions which will be better paid. In this bright vision of the future affluence will be defined not by material possessions but by a fulfilling life and work oh thanks to our robot friends. What do you think of such predictions these this idea of a paradise that robots to work yeah we are we are close to paradise looking former times we are washing our dishes and our clothes do it for us. Though youre talking about. Americans europeans what about indians what about africans are they are they any closer. It is still a little step behind us but also day in africa everybody has a mobile phone so its coming to africa as well and we have to think now what we doing with the paypal who lose to jobs i think a good idea is the basic income and then the people can think and train and find new possibilities what they will do after what is a basic income still shunned in the corporate world no no i would like big c. E. O. s talk about it and i mean everybody sees was especially in a tech area that we need it maybe we name it differently but we will definitely come and we have so many chop opportunities in the social sector what we pay really badly. But we have to admit that a lot of jobs will just disappear and wont come back and at the same time to education what has to be done there. If you look at schools and universities is that we need much more teachers who are trained in computing we need High Tech Computers at universities its Still Old School day and we have to rethink otherwise other nations will overtake us economist mathias vike you heard it from him thank you very much for coming in the program as web designers and i. T. Specialists the jobs that will be hugely in demand in our Digital Future but here in the European Union theres a shortage of qualified workers well one hundred thousand positions have been filled Career Training hasnt caught up with demand weve met two entrepreneurs weve taken that as an opportunity. But our fire hein runs a company that offers online courses in web design. Demand is strong people call up all the time to register. Well the need is just fine almost and if you look anywhere at the big Car Companies in the Big Media Companies all companies go online and digital right. And in order to do that they need people who actually know how to go digital how to design a great online experience or how to build a website she and her Business Partner set up career foundry in berlin four years ago it now has a staff or forty they dont have classrooms all the courses are conducted online and are self paced with real time mentoring. The Big Companies such as apple and bank of america already use career foundry services. A number of potential investors fail to anticipate the companys success. People just in germany especially react strangely to new ideas ripe a bit of us heard and they think theyre not going to work out and that whether youre man or woman we will get reaction and we certainly got that reaction and so many people nowadays for example that then invest in two thousand and thirteen two thousand and fourteen and all like got to know that there. Is only. Two twos and mentors guide students through their course feedback is given online in one on one conversations the students could be anywhere this budding Web Developer is at home on her sofa. Her course costs one thousand five hundred euros shes learning how to design interactive websites when shes completed the course shell get a certificate from career foundry. This is code the new private university of applied sciences in berlin it was founded by tom bottom an internet startup entrepreneur and Software Developer the focus is on the field of Digital Product development graduates can be pretty confident of finding a job demand is strong we develop these projects together with companies saw we try to bring in the companies and the Practical Implications of that right into the study programs. Code has the backing of many well known internet and Startup Entrepreneurs it aims to create a community of digital pioneers it currently office three bachelor programs in Software EngineeringInteraction Design and Product Management a Degree Program cost about twenty seven thousand euros but payment can be deferred until graduates start earning real money classes are taught in english each program is designed to be completed in three years. Was always goes into their however i didnt know. Thats why im so happy that its not just coding Software Engineering for a class of eighty eight the university received more than two thousand applications Good Software engineers designers and product managers are still a rare resource in europe and germany. Tom buckram has made millions with a range of ventures. But he says code is not about making a profit. I think it will not return and money return and fund return and people like you know impact. That career foundry web design coaches are failing gein knows the importance of a sound i. T. Education Companies Often reach out to her in their search for good web designers. She and her partner have raised over four Million Euros in funding now its time to start turning a profit we are close to and we are a startup and startup means. We have investors that invest of money into us so that we could grow faster and you dont use this money to invest and thats why were not profitable yet but we will be in the First Quarter of next year. Whats more she so certain of the value of the course is a career foundry but it will reimburse the fees of any student who fails to find a job within six months of graduating.
