AI 機器人覬覦紡織業，人口紅利將成人口惡夢
近年紡織業從中國大陸移到東南亞與南亞國家，在當地創造大量工作機會，擁有大量人口與低薪的南亞國家希望人口紅利可以率領國家走向經濟繁榮，世界銀行估計未來 20 年，南亞地區一個月會新增 120 萬名勞工，20 年後將新增 2.4 億人，但在世界彼端發展的自動化技術將造成巨大衝擊。
據金融時報（Financial Times）報導，位於美國亞特蘭大的 SoftWear Automation 正在開發紡織機器人 Sewbot，可以將整個服裝製造過程完全交給自動化，但要達到低價與可靠性以取代人類，還要一段時間。印度一名紡織工人一年賺 1,200 美元，但現在一台 Sewbot 成本要數十萬美元，不過取代人類只是時間問題，屆時將破壞新興國家的經濟發展模式。
印度經濟學家認為，機器人與人工智慧的破壞性比過去的蒸氣、電子、組裝廠或電腦革命影響更大，因為人工智慧取代的不只是例行工作，屆時人口紅利即將變成人口惡夢。
縫紉的 4 個步驟，拾起物品、對齊、縫製和處理，只有縫紉已經自動化，其他部分仍然由人類完成，因為機器人很難拾起柔軟不規則的棉花並精確地移動。但亞特蘭大公司開發縫紉機器人 Sewbot，為了解決精細材料的問題，他們給機器人相機，像眼睛一樣功能，就像工程師開發自動駕駛車一樣。(新聞來源:科技新報)
