Europe’s Robots Would Become ‘Electronic Persons’ Under Draft Plan






Europe’s Robots Would Become ‘Electronic Persons’ Under Draft Plan


June 22nd, 2016

Good luck with that. What about the rest of the world, where automation is rolling out without restriction? Chinese corporations will shit themselves laughing at this one as tens of thousands of human workers are being replaced by robots.

My guess is that the controllers have two options as we head into the automated machine age:

1) Some sort of basic income. Here’s my take on this from 2014:

Something like a basic income could emerge, but it will probably only be enough to survive in a setting akin to a favela. The purpose of the basic income will be to prevent a disorderly societal collapse as machine labor really takes off. Even if a basic income does come into play, I think that large swaths of society will increasingly struggle to get by.

The tech elite know what’s coming and they’re trying to figure out how to remain in their high castles without fear of the peasants causing any problems. A basic income is an easy way to go.

2) Kill off. Vaccines. GMO. Corporate food.

Maybe some of it works like binary chemical weapons:

Binary chemical weapons or munitions are chemical weapons wherein the toxic agent in its active state is not contained within the weapon. Rather, the toxin is in the form of two chemical precursors, physically separated within the weapon. The precursors are designed to be significantly less toxic than the agent they make when mixed, and this allows the weapon to be transported and stored more safely than otherwise…

The chemical reaction takes place when the weapon is deployed. Firing the munition or other deployment action removes the barrier between the two precursors, so they can react with one another.

Maybe Industrial Shit Snack A is relatively benign on its own. But when combined with Industrial Shit Snack B…

I know of no evidence that such a thing is happening, but it would be a very subtle way of thinning the population. Additionally, if any of the combinations were discovered, the companies involved could just shrug their shoulders, admit no wrongdoing, and apologize for the unfortunate coincidence.

And nobody would care: 80% of Pre-Packaged Foods in America Are Banned in Other Countries.

Anyway, back to the silly notion of taxing machine labor… haha

Via: Reuters:

Europe’s growing army of robot workers could be classed as “electronic persons” and their owners liable to paying social security for them if the European Union adopts a draft plan to address the realities of a new industrial revolution.

Robots are being deployed in ever-greater numbers in factories and also taking on tasks such as personal care or surgery, raising fears over unemployment, wealth inequality and alienation.

Their growing intelligence, pervasiveness and autonomy requires rethinking everything from taxation to legal liability, a draft European Parliament motion, dated May 31, suggests.

The report added that robotics and artificial intelligence may result in a large part of the work now done by humans being taken over by robots, raising concerns about the future of employment and the viability of social security systems.

The draft motion, drawn up by the European parliament’s committee on legal affairs also said organizations should have to declare savings they made in social security contributions by using robotics instead of people, for tax purposes.
