What are we going to do as a society when too many people in the world are replaced by automation? How do we balance technology and AI with humanity?
In this episode of the GZ Chop Shop, we continue to talk about AI and how they are undeniably slowly taking over people’s jobs. In the last 3 months of this year alone, there have been massive layoffs from 16 companies, and just recently, CNET has been reported to have laid off 50% of its workforce. Compared to the other tech layoffs that happened this year, CNET’s case is unique because of the mention of AI.
Listen in as we share our thoughts on how these machines are being used by companies to replace skilled and highly educated employees to cut down costs and get things done more efficiently, and we as a society should be wary about it.

Has technology gone too far?
The possibilities of technology and its advancements are endless. From artificial intelligence to virtual reality, we are witnessing a rapid evolution in the way we interact with the world around us.
In this episode of the GZ Chop Shop, we are going to talk about technology in general and how it is equally terrifying and exciting to be able to do things that we did not know could be possible, starting with the possibility of scanning our palms to pay for things. Amazon introduced Amazon One's palm scanning checkout, which is a new technology that allows customers to pay for their purchases by simply scanning their palms. On one hand, this contactless payment method is convenient and secure. But on the other hand, this technology could be pushing it a little too much.
Imagine all the things that could happen when this kind of technology is normalized. What do you think?
Quick episode summary:
