Will AI Robots Replace Human Beings?

Once, I went to our workshop for a meeting, and instead of calling a car from DiDi(Chinese Uber), I got a taxi from the taxi parking spot. The driver (50 years old or so) seemed quite excited and told me that he had driven around for hours to wait for a passenger.
“Why don’t you download a DiDi APP, so you can get orders from it.”
“I once used that APP, however, when there are few customers and a lot of drivers, drivers need to compete and act quickly to respond to the orders. I am old and I think it is unsafe for me to grab an order while driving. Of course, DiDi will assign the orders sometimes, but not many.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
“One day, Didi will replace the taxi completely. Now many of my colleagues quit their job and work independently as a DiDi driver.”
“Yes, new things will always gradually takes the position of old ones. For example, some people are reluctant to do some work, but it doesn’t matter, artificial intelligent robots will replace us to do a lot of things in the future.”
“Oh, artificial intelligence will be a disaster for human beings. Take the driver as an example, we will be threatened by unmanned vehicles. The cars can drive themselves, and then what will we do？.”

His words made me lost in thought. A few weeks ago, I watched a movie called Humans, which described a world that AI robots (called synths) would be co-existed with human beings. In that movie, robots can do a lot of jobs, like selling products at a supermarket, taking care of the patient at the hospital, and even looking after a baby at home. It seemed that the robots make people live more comfortably, however, when the robots started to have feelings and emotions, a lot of conflicts and misunderstandings arose between human beings and robots due to some ethic questions, equality issues, and social values.

Also, I read an article published by The Economist recently, titled “Masters of the Universe” in which it said that “computers increasingly call the shots in financial markets”, and moreover, “new artificial intelligence programs are also writing their own investing rules, in ways their human masters only partly understand”. Of course, it also analyzed some concerns and potential risks for using computers and artificial intelligence in financial markets, however, the trend for the technology revolution is unstoppable.

So will AI robots threaten or replace human beings? 
To solve current problems, like shortage of labors, management issues, increasing aging population, and environment issues, I think human beings need help from artificial intelligence. There is no doubt that artificial intelligence will be developed at an unprecedented speed in the future. However, we also need to notice that there is still a long way to go to design a real intelligent robot. The idea for artificial intelligence has been put up for a long time, but until now, we still have a lot of difficulties that need to be overcome. Also, with the development of technology, more attention should be paid to humanity and ethic and related researches should be conducted on these aspects.

A Couple of Brothers: RGB VS CMYK

When it comes to designing for print, there is a range of things you need to consider that includes the design itself, the type of files, color mode setting, the printing capability of equipment, etc. Among these factors, the color mode acts as a bridge that connects your designs and the final result.   Let’s uncover the basic logic behind color mode choice A golden rule in the printing industry is anything dealing with the web should always be in RGB and printed materials should be in CMYK. In the following, I will briefly explain the reason behind that.   WHAT IS RGB & CMYK? RGB  is an additive process that stands for red, green, blue.The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display of images in computer monitors. However different devices detect or reproduce the same RGB value d...

Cutting Down Cost: Efficiency is the King

When the cost of your product is 50 US dollars, you sell it at 70 US dollars, and then 20 US dollars will fall into your pocket, are these 20 US dollars your profit? From the perspective of finance, 20 US dollars are your margin. However, when it comes to business, they are barely dividends. Dividends are something that only exists when there is little competition in the market. When more and more new competitors enter the industry, there will always be someone who may sell the product at a much lower price to occupy the market, and once much lower prices appear in this market, the competition will be fierce, and then the dividend will disappear. True profit doesn’t simply equal to selling price minus cost. The key to making a profit is your ability to cut costs through innovation. There are two ways to cut costs, one is the management and the other is technology innovation. Efficiency can be improved through management. You can use management tools to make your em...

Line And Color, Two Important Elements Of Design

Elements Of Design The basis for most graphic design is typography. This involves the selection and arrangement of visual images(words and illustrations) to make a pleasing presentation.

The basic design elements are:lines, shapes, mass, texture, and color. Lines. The first design element, lines, can take many different forms. Sometimes, the lines are loops and free or they can be straight and sharp. Lines can be used to denote a specific meaning. Repetition of lines also creates patterns and this adds an emotional impact to the visual image. Lines can be used to give the printed image a “personality”. ...
