Human vs Machines
Human vs. Machines
In this essay, I want to be aware about what are the ethical issues in my career, Mechatronics Engineering, and what are the moral problems from automating a factory.
During this essay I will discuss the ethical issues about automating a factory, because when you automate an industrial process you may have to fire some people from the company because the machines will do most of the job by themselves without the necessity of a person.
However, the automation of a factory will lower the costs of the production and it will improve the quality of the products because you can a make a machine more precise than a person.
So the purpose of the essay is to discuss about those issues and support with some ethical theories to get to a conclusion and get to an idea if it is right or wrong to automate an industrial process from a factory.
