News 2.0: Sriram Srinivasan column on Rise of the robot journalist - The Hindu

My VIEW:

Welcome Robot Era
This refers to the
article “Rise of the Robot Journalist” (September 25). We have already entered
the era of ‘Robot Journalism’ long back. Not just in journalism, in all fields
where application of mind and use of human intelligence would make life on this
planet better, the entry of money which can be stored as an asset which created
a class called rich who became powerful have started dominating. They ‘buy’ the
best talent available, convert them to ‘robots’ by offering money and make them
think and act the way they want. Now, when some of the robots have started
revolting, the rich and the powerful want to remove the ‘human factor’ from
their ‘robots’ and make the entire work completely machine-based. Great idea.
May be, this will herald an era in which a new world with machines on one side
and humans on the other will emerge.
