translated from Spanish: Girardi (PPD): “Humans will not have jobs and will be replaced by machines”

Senator PPD Guido Girardi, chairman of the Senate’s Challenges of the Future Commission, stated that the lawsuit for 40 working hours “is a social debt that must be incorporated”, but stated that the real challenge that needs to be addressed is that “the human beings will have no job and will be replaced by machines.” The PD mp made these statements during his participation in the Conference of the “Conference of Tomorrow”, an activity that took place on the morning of this Saturday in the framework of the National Congress of Christian Democracy (DC), which Girardi called “a very important space for us, at least in opposition, to debate the world to come and not the one that has already left.” The senator for the Metropolitan Region said that “politics is obsolete and aachronic because it is still captured by the twentieth century, in which liberal humanism and social democracy allowed great advances in democracy, equity and respect for human rights “. However, he clarified that “but that analog world is over. It does not exist and we must face a new era governed by algorithms and artificial intelligence. A new dimension where today’s challenges are not yesterday’s.” The creator of the Future Congress exemplified by noting that, “the demand for 40 working hours – a social debt that must be incorporated – is typical of a 20th century society that aspired to full employment.” He added that “the problem of the 21st century is the end of work as we know it, because many jobs will be replaced by forced automation. Human beings will not have jobs and will be replaced by machines… How we are going to deal with this challenge is what needs to be discussed.”
