However, AI is already reducing job opportunities, particularly amongst office based and professional service workers, perhaps in the future these people might move into care work. However, those same jobs lost to AI are also a loss to income tax receipts, so how would care be paid for. There is a clear need for a radical rethink on how care is provided and funded. Care work is an essential function within society, it’s high time it got the political attention and funding it deserves. A number of groups are looking at using care robots for caring https://ec.europa.eu/research-and-innovation/en/horizon-magazine/elderly-care-bring-robots Do robots have a role in care? https://caring-times.co.uk/feature/do-robots-have-a-role-in-care/ I think there will need to be a huge rethink on taxation more so when 50% of the working population is not working due to Ai and Robotics the OECD is already research this one of the suggestions in income tax on Robots https://www.oecd.org/forum/oecdyearbook/how-taxing-robots-could-help-bridge-future-revenue-gaps.htm Many people with dementia and alzheimer don't recognise their own family over a period of time Here is Jennie Tombot Now if you could get the tombot to monitor its owner and send an alert to someone if they think that something is not right Edited July 31, 2023 by vinny41 add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bad reporting. Simple. I have worked in rehab hospitals. They are very good, caring places. Residents, notice the word resident and not patient, get very good care and are extremely well looked after. Nothing about that in the article. Now, when there was something in conversation regarding engineering, you decided to use your experience to prove some posters were wide of the mark. Now it's me that has the experience. Just let others that know explain. Edited July 31, 2023 by youreavinalaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
