There's a lot of talk about AI and robots taking over our jobs. Now, a video from China has gone viral where a robot delivers food right to a woman's door. This has everyone wondering if our food delivery executives in India could be next.
Robots and Artificial Intelligence have already entered almost every field. Because of this, lakhs of people have already lost their jobs. Many big tech companies are now using AI instead of people, which has created a lot of anxiety for software engineering students. A recent report from Karnataka even stated that only 17 percent of software engineering students are able to find jobs.
On one hand, we have this situation, and on the other, robots have already started serving food in hotels. Trials for this have even taken place in Bengaluru. But now, in a shocking development, a new fear has emerged: will robots also snatch the jobs of food delivery boys? A video posted by a young woman is the reason for this growing concern.
The Woman's Viral Video
Today, many people prefer to order food and eat at home. While older people might make the effort to go for a walk, many youngsters find it boring to go to a hotel and don't have the energy to cook at home. As a result, the number of people ordering in has shot up, and thousands now rely on food delivery for their livelihood. This video raises a serious question about their job security.
