The Robot Made Me Do It : Human–Robot Interaction and Risk-Taking Behavior
▻https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/cyber.2020.0148?journalCode=cyber&

Empirical evidence has shown that peer pressure can impact human risk-taking behavior. With robots becoming ever more present in a range of human settings, it is crucial to examine whether robots can have a similar impact. Using the balloon analogue risk task (BART), participants’ risk-taking behavior was measured when alone, in the presence of a silent robot, or in the presence of a robot that actively encouraged risk-taking behavior. In the BART, shown to be a proxy for real risk-taking (...)

How Amazon automatically tracks and fires warehouse workers for ‘productivity’
▻https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/25/18516004/amazon-warehouse-fulfillment-centers-productivity-firing-terminations

Documents show how the company tracks and terminates workers Amazon’s fulfillment centers are the engine of the company — massive warehouses where workers track, pack, sort, and shuffle each order before sending it on its way to the buyer’s door. Critics say those fulfillment center workers face strenuous conditions : workers are pressed to “make rate,” with some packing hundreds of boxes per hour, and losing their job if they don’t move fast enough. “You’ve always got somebody right behind you (...)

Merci de changer de métier » (Revue Z, 2020), composé de plusieurs textes sous forme notamment, de lettre à des ingénieurs, brille par sa simplicité. D’une plume faussement naïve, la journaliste questionne ceux qui façonnent les outils « du futur » – robots, logiciels – à propos de leur responsabilité vis-à-vis du reste de le société. Sans moralisme, ni accusations mal placées, elle les appelle à se réveiller. Le premier texte (...)

The company’s AI lab is pushing the boundaries of its virtual simulation platform to train AI agents to carry out tasks like “Get my ringing phone.” In June 2019, Facebook’s AI lab, FAIR, released AI Habitat, a new simulation platform for training AI agents. It allowed agents to explore various realistic virtual environments, like a furnished apartment or cubicle-filled office. The AI could then be ported into a robot, which would gain the smarts to navigate through the real world without (...)

Forces of Production : A Social History of Industrial Automation | David F. Noble

In Forces of Production : A Social History of Industrial Automation (1984) Noble recounts the history of machine tool automation in the United States. He argues that CNC (computerized numerical control) machines were introduced both to increase efficiency and to discipline unions which were stronger in the USA in the period immediately following World War II. Forces of Production argues that management wanted to take the programming of machine tools, which as “machines for making machines” (...)

Workers may be more affected by robots taking their bosses’ jobs than their own Generally speaking, the four economic sectors in the U.S. that rely most heavily on human labor are, in order of most people employed : retail, fast food, health care, and clerical office work. These are jobs that involve interacting — often intimately — with other people. To eliminate these jobs, companies couldn’t just replace humans’ role in production with machines, as they might on an assembly line. It would (...)
