In Korea, there are 1220 robots per 10,000 factory workers. This is the highest rate in the world. Not surprisingly, it was in this country that the first strike against the replacement of humans by humanoids occurred. The union, which includes 40,000 Hyundai workers, is now in the process of discussing the conditions under which these innovations can be implemented. Recall that Hyundai acquired 100% of Boston Dynamics and now wants to recoup these investments through cost reductions, which are possible only by reducing people in factories. It turns out that one Atlas costing $130K pays for itself in just two years! This strike is a precedent. Let's see what the parties agree on. This will form the basis for future disputes of this kind — worker resistance will only grow if companies do not develop a plan for a smooth transition to physical AI without harming people. Let me remind you of a recent story, if you haven't read it — IKEA implemented AI, significantly benefiting financially, but did not fire a single employee. People can now engage in more interesting tasks. That's the way it is. You can read more about the strike at the Hyundai plant here
