Mirror of the Past: Lessons from Technological Revolutions
Industrial Revolution (18th-19th C.)
Mechanization led to short-term social conflicts like the Luddite movement, but in the long run, it boosted productivity and created new professions like engineers, laying the foundation for material abundance. This suggests the AI revolution can yield positive outcomes if accompanied by new job creation and retraining systems.
PC & Internet Revolution (1980s-2000s)
About 3.5 million jobs like typists disappeared, but over 19 million new jobs like web developers were created. This shows technology changes the *type* of work rather than the *total amount*, maximizing productivity. AI is likely to augment and evolve human jobs rather than eliminate them entirely.
Manufacturing Automation (1990s-2010s)
Industrial robots impacted production jobs but created new high-skilled roles like robotics engineers and systems specialists. This shows that for BPO and call centers, strategic realignment is essential: replacing repetitive tasks with AI and focusing humans on high-value areas requiring empathy and complex problem-solving.
