Progress and development in both areas should please us as another civilization success. Meanwhile, instead of pride and joy, many people feel fear, because there are many suspected threats surrounding these achievements of automation and artificial intelligence. The article aims to assess which of these fears are justified and which are not. According to the author, the supposition that when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence (which will inevitably occur) will want to gain power over the world and destroy humanity – they are unjustified. However, the real threat is unemployment, which will occur along with the more frequent replacement of people by machines – both in physical and mental work.}, title={Automation and artificial intelligence as the sources of true and imaginary threats}, URL={http://publikacje.pan.pl/Content/116671/PDF/4Tadeusiewicz.pdf}, keywords={automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, threats, unemployment}, }
