What Happens When It’s Too Easy?

A.I., robots, self-driving cars. Automation can free time, but human behavior is unpredictable. Will it bring greater productivity or unchecked complacency?

Dear Member,

Today, as markets rest, we reflect on the consequences of automation and ease. When aircrafts became automated, pilots disengaged—less responsibility led to unexpected risks. Could this pattern repeat with self-driving cars, AI, and robots?

Automation can free time, but human behavior is unpredictable. Will it bring greater productivity or unchecked complacency? Even in families or investments, delegation without understanding leads to stagnation.

The future demands responsibility, not reliance. How will you prepare? Read the full weekly newsletter edition below.

Markets are closed today.

We are here wondering what happens when it’s all too much easy? How people really work.

Interesting story, when the Aircrafts became mostly automated, pilots started to loose interest in flying. They started to taking less responsibility for what occurs in the flight, and that may bring more risk than desired.

Humans behavior change after a new information comes up. Can you guess how the world will be when the A.I. becomes more effective? When cars are self-driving and robots are assuming new human tasks at work and industries?

Yesterday we told our members the upcoming opportunities in robots, self driving cars, data, and quantum computing.

When people get instant gratification, they tend to let the results slide, them comes a new behavior, and it all changes.

When people have ways of automating something, they loose attention, they lose interest, the results minguo.

The FAA, Federal Aviation Administration required that more aircrafts become more automated… now we can wonder what will happen to the automobile sector in the future when robots take control of the traffic, and self-driving cars are everywhere.

We tend to think that when people have more time they become more organized, however human behavior is trick. Cellphones run out of battery even do it takes about 30 minutes to get a recharge. Electric cars will give people more opportunities to show what they do when they don’t need to go to a gas station and quickly recharge. Will they have more free time? Or they would add more autonomous behaviors to their days living them with no time to engage with family and other non-work activities.

Part of the problem is that countries continue to measure productivity, not effectiveness. The great risk is when people realize they are stuck in the office for many hours to not have the opportunity to see how live really works when you have free-time (your own time).

It’s equally important to look at some families that have one person that take care of the whole family, the other parts of the family loose interest, and they become a nobody.

It’s essential to look at investments, as well, people look to investment bankers as if they had all the answers, so they lose interest and opt to give them the opportunity to do their mistakes with your own money, that’s nothing even racional about it.

As if someone that is willing to have a great children, would enroll him at the best school, where all the teachers have no practical experience in life, and the class mates don’t need to do nothing to be something.

We can stress even more this argument taking a future look as your family, colleagues, classmates, people and general, what do they do when they have free time?

Some will prepare for optionality, some will rest as if events were fav

Without knowledge you just walk, no solution, no way.

It takes a lot of self-responsibility to care about something.

Marcelo Marini
