We can all agree that technology has lead to many breakthroughs making our everyday life better. Evolving is a process that can't be stopped, but at least it can be guided to the right direction.
Many times humankind has used technology in the wrong way. The self-destructing mentality has not disappeared yet and very few times we have learned from the mistakes of the past.
A.I is making and will make a big impact for the future generations. Its presence will be everywhere. Artificial Intelligence stores will replace everything we used to know. This means, further weakening of the private sector for business owners who employ staff.
Even groceries, mini-markets stores will become automated. Who will work there? Well no one is, the stores will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without employees and self-propelled, the new idea for mini-markets is already here.
The Swedish start up Wheelys opened a fully automatic grocery store in Hefei, China, in June 2017. It was created in collaboration with Hefei University and the Himalafy retail company and was named Moby Mart.
"We thought of Moby Mart because in the digital age the physical store loses its customers and the cost of the products is higher than the online store," explained Wang Chen, a shop research assistant. With further plans that involve the promotion of Moby Mart around the world.
Comparing it with an ordinary store, the mobile grocery is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week in an "automatic and safe way" it has a mobile transport system and artificial intelligence. In this way it can be opened without staff and reduce costs.
This means grocery businesses will be abolished and millions of people will lose their jobs.
The globalization will be based on artificial intelligence. People will live in technologically evolved towns, which will be filled with self-propelled stores and not only.
Utopia or dystopia ? Only time will show, but the signs are already among us.
