Will the government ban robots from completely taking over workplace environment.

[Braznor]

If robots start to replace people, lets say in the service industry leading to mass unemployment. Will the government start to regulate the same?

No, then we can all become artists.

I am of the opinion that every time corporations automate away a worker, the work day should get shorter.
The way it SHOULD be is we all work less and less and have slightly more time to live our lives. Thanks to modern technology, we should all be working no more than 30 hours. But because corporations love fucking everyone over, what we actually have is as many people as possible scrambling to work as many hours as possible and a bunch of people who cant get work and none of the bottom 99 percent is getting ahead regardless of how much they work and the whole system is fucked.

CAN ROBOTS SAVE THE SERVICE INDUSTRY FROM COVID-19?

Until a serving & food prep robot becomes like $500 or less this will never happen. We have witnessed even large seemingly successful chains and restaurants only have a few thousand liquid, not even enough to pay their small staff a meager wage for two weeks without business. They operate on razor thin margins, zero chance they would be able to afford a robot until the cost is a few hundred. That won’t happen anytime soon on a mass scale.

Robots are more easily programmable and controllable than people. Governments may embrace them and outlaw people.

Fortunately automation seems to be going after the highend skilled work first. Accountants, bankers, investment now programmers and managers to a certain extent.
These are the jobs that can save a ton of cash, these are the jobs where someone would be willing to spend tons of money on an AI and sign a contract for support (which will likely be expensive).
People in those jobs consistently vote which is good nee imo.

Lots of jobs have been replaced by technology through history, but there always seems to be created new jobs as well. Unskilled labor might go the way of the dodo, so a well educated work force will probably be a good idea.

McDonald’s and grocery stores have self checkout. Replacing the express lane with 2 to 8 stations make a lot of monetary sense.

Yeah however those are not prepping or serving food.

A lot of restaurant function could be served via some sort of conveyor belt system overhead, don't need robots. I went to a burger place in KC that had the food delivered via trains to the table, worked pretty well. Fritz's Railroad Restaurant - Dine on the Fritz's Line! (fritzskc.com) Sushi places also do this. Very old concept. I suspect higher end will continue to be human served.

Regulate?

Or contract for more?

Nooo dis-a-ssemble.

The government does not care about unemployment, or the people. They only care about tax revenue and corporate share prices. With most people unemployed the tax revenue might be lower but the profits from shares will make up for it.

As long as megacorporations are making record profits and shares keep going up each year the government is happy.
