ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Lee - Innovation leader
UPS’s David Lee works to create platforms that make it easier for people to turn fuzzy ideas into concrete solutions.

Why you should listen

David Lee is the Vice President of Innovation and the Strategic Enterprise Fund for UPS. In that role, he develops programs that make it easier for smart, creative people to get together and explore ideas.  It's clear that great ideas can come from anywhere. His responsibility to help people turn their ideas into tangible, pragmatic solutions.  His team coordinates communities, programs, and contests that give people permission to chase down problems that they are personally inspired to address.  He is constantly amazed at what happens when thoughtful, passionate people are given room to run.

Lee's career has been filled with interesting opportunities to break down new barriers for large corporations.  He has been involved in the launch of dozens of new products, services and businesses within the framework of corporate processes and expectations. Some of those efforts flourished while others failed. Because of those lessons, he looks to create pathways which result in rapid impact and "good failures" whenever possible.

Prior to joining UPS, he led innovation at SunTrust Bank. Lee started his career at Bank of America, where he worked in advanced technology and asset management. There he helped to launch retirement services and a strategic venture capital group. He studied economics at the University of Virginia and went to business school at the University of Chicago.

我们都听说过机器人会取代我们的工作——但我们究竟要如何应对呢?革新专家大卫·李说,我们应该开始设计和挖掘隐藏了我们天赋和热情的工作——那些我们会用周末来做的事,从而让我们在机器人时代仍具有价值。“开始询问他们想解决什么样的问题,以及他们想把什么天赋带到工作中,”李说,“当你邀请人们施展才华时,他们展现的潜能会让我们感到惊讶。”

So there's a lot of valid有效
concern关心 these days
0
874
2152
当今有许多实实在在的担心
00:15
that our technology技术 is getting得到 so smart聪明
1
3050
2205
技术正在变得如此智能
00:17
that we've我们已经 put ourselves我们自己
on the path路径 to a jobless失业 future未来.
2
5279
2748
我们几乎是在把自己引向失业
00:21
And I think the example
of a self-driving自驾车 car汽车
3
9682
2152
自动驾驶汽车
是其中最浅显的一个例子
00:23
is actually其实 the easiest最简单的 one to see.
4
11858
1674
不管怎样 自动驾驶都是非常棒的事情
00:25
So these are going to be fantastic奇妙
for all kinds of different不同 reasons原因.
5
13556
3328
00:28
But did you know that "driver司机"
is actually其实 the most common共同 job工作
6
16908
3438
但你是否知道
在美国50个州其中的29个
司机都是最普遍的职业
00:32
in 29 of the 50 US states状态?
7
20370
1789
00:35
What's going to happen发生 to these jobs工作
when we're no longer driving主动 our cars汽车
8
23042
3478
当我们不再需要司机驾驶汽车
也不需要人来烹饪食物
甚至不需要医生来诊断疾病
00:38
or cooking烹饪 our food餐饮
9
26544
1165
这些工作岗位将何去何从呢
00:39
or even diagnosing诊断 our own拥有 diseases疾病?
10
27733
1959
00:42
Well, a recent最近 study研究
from ForresterForrester公司 Research研究
11
30675
2377
一个来自弗雷斯特研究的最新研究
00:45
goes so far to predict预测
that 25 million百万 jobs工作
12
33076
3163
甚至预计有两千五百万个工作
00:48
might威力 disappear消失 over the next下一个 10 years年份.
13
36263
2162
可能会在接下来的十年内消失
00:51
To put that in perspective透视,
14
39393
1489
换个方式说
00:52
that's three times as many许多 jobs工作 lost丢失
in the aftermath后果 of the financial金融 crisis危机.
15
40906
4146
这相当于金融危机之后
消失的职业数量的三倍
00:58
And it's not just blue-collar蓝领 jobs工作
that are at risk风险.
16
46606
2472
而且不只是蓝领职业有消失的危险
01:01
On Wall Street and across横过 Silicon Valley,
we are seeing眼看 tremendous巨大 gains收益
17
49728
3427
放眼整个华尔街和硅谷
机器学习在
分析和决策中的应用
01:05
in the quality质量 of analysis分析
and decision-making做决定
18
53179
2182
01:07
because of machine learning学习.
19
55385
1654
均取得了巨大的成就
01:09
So even the smartest最聪明的, highest-paid薪酬最高 people
will be affected受影响 by this change更改.
20
57063
3524
即便是最聪明 最高薪的人
也会被这个改变所影响
01:13
What's clear明确 is that no matter
what your job工作 is,
21
61714
2670
很明显的是无论你的职业是什么
01:16
at least最小 some, if not all of your work,
22
64408
1972
即便不是全部 也会有一部分
01:18
is going to be doneDONE by a robot机器人
or software软件 in the next下一个 few少数 years年份.
23
66404
3392
会在接下来的几年里
被机器人或软件所取代
01:22
And that's exactly究竟 why people
like Mark标记 Zuckerberg扎克伯格 and Bill法案 Gates盖茨
24
70918
3071
而这恰恰是像马克·扎克伯格
和比尔·盖茨这样的人
在讨论政府需要保障人们
最低收入水平的原因
01:26
are talking about the need for
government-funded政府资助 minimum最低限度 income收入 levels水平.
25
74013
3388
01:29
But if our politicians政治家 can't agree同意
on things like health健康 care关心
26
77425
3342
但如果政客们连医保
学校午餐之类的事情
01:32
or even school学校 lunches午餐,
27
80791
1279
都无法达成一致
01:34
I just don't see a path路径
where they'll他们会 find consensus共识
28
82094
2430
我不觉得他们能在这样
巨大且昂贵的全民基本
生活保障的事情上达成一致
01:36
on something as big and as expensive昂贵
as universal普遍 basic基本 life income收入.
29
84548
3326
01:40
Instead代替, I think the response响应
needs需求 to be led by us in industry行业.
30
88616
3645
反而我认为应该由
我们行业自身的人去引导
01:44
We have to recognize认识
the change更改 that's ahead of us
31
92285
2524
我们要意识到前方的变化
01:46
and start开始 to design设计 the new kinds of jobs工作
32
94833
1975
并着手设计新的工作形式
01:48
that will still be relevant相应
in the age年龄 of robotics机器人.
33
96832
2695
使其在机器时代仍具有意义
01:52
The good news新闻 is that we have
faced面对 down and recovered恢复
34
100899
2753
好消息是我们之前经历过
01:55
two mass extinctions灭绝 of jobs工作 before.
35
103676
2186
两次大的失业潮和经济复苏
01:58
From 1870 to 1970,
36
106523
2210
1870年到1970年间
02:00
the percent百分 of American美国 workers工人
based基于 on farms农场 fell下跌 by 90 percent百分,
37
108757
4408
在农场工作的美国工人
数量下降了90%
02:05
and then again from 1950 to 2010,
38
113189
2545
而从1950年到2010年
02:07
the percent百分 of Americans美国人
working加工 in factories工厂
39
115758
2143
在工厂里的美国工人数量
02:09
fell下跌 by 75 percent百分.
40
117925
1676
下降了75%
02:12
The challenge挑战 we face面对 this time,
however然而, is one of time.
41
120570
2954
而我们这次面临的挑战是“时间”
02:15
We had a hundred years年份
to move移动 from farms农场 to factories工厂,
42
123548
3014
我们有100年的时间从农场转向工厂
02:18
and then 60 years年份 to fully充分 build建立 out
a service服务 economy经济.
43
126586
2575
又花了60年去建设服务业经济
02:21
The rate of change更改 today今天
44
129678
1325
如今的变化速度
意味着我们只有10到15年来调整
02:23
suggests提示 that we may可能 only have
10 or 15 years年份 to adjust调整,
45
131027
2974
02:26
and if we don't react应对 fast快速 enough足够,
46
134025
1703
如果我们不尽快作出反应
02:27
that means手段 by the time
today's今天的 elementary-school小学学校 students学生们
47
135752
2756
那就意味着当今天的小学生
02:30
are college-aged大学生年龄,
48
138532
1885
上大学的时候
02:32
we could be living活的
in a world世界 that's robotic机器人,
49
140441
2141
我们就会生活在一个充斥着机器人
02:34
largely大部分 unemployed失业的 and stuck卡住
in kind of un-great联合国大 depression萧条.
50
142606
3683
并伴随大量失业人群的萧条世界里了
02:39
But I don't think it has to be this way.
51
147797
1939
但我不认为这样的结果是注定的
我的工作是革新
02:41
You see, I work in innovation革新,
52
149760
1700
02:43
and part部分 of my job工作 is to shape形状 how
large companies公司 apply应用 new technologies技术.
53
151484
4154
我的部分工作是帮助
大公司应用新的技术
02:48
Certainly当然 some of these technologies技术
54
156265
1795
而其中有些技术
就是专门设计来取代人类工作者
02:50
are even specifically特别 designed设计
to replace更换 human人的 workers工人.
55
158084
2904
02:53
But I believe that if we start开始
taking服用 steps脚步 right now
56
161615
2926
但是我相信如果我们现在开始着手
02:56
to change更改 the nature性质 of work,
57
164565
1821
去改变工作的本质
02:58
we can not only create创建 environments环境
where people love coming未来 to work
58
166410
3886
我们不仅可以创造
人们所热爱的工作环境
03:02
but also generate生成
the innovation革新 that we need
59
170320
2118
而且还可以产生我们所需要的创新
来代替终将流失于技术的数百万职业
03:04
to replace更换 the millions百万 of jobs工作
that will be lost丢失 to technology技术.
60
172462
3173
03:08
I believe that the key
to preventing防止 our jobless失业 future未来
61
176532
3799
我认为预防我们未来失业的关键在于
重新发现人类自身
03:12
is to rediscover重新发现 what makes品牌 us human人的,
62
180355
2346
03:14
and to create创建 a new generation
of human-centered以人为本 jobs工作
63
182725
2958
并创造新一代的以人为本的职业
03:17
that allow允许 us to unlock开锁
the hidden talents人才 and passions激情
64
185707
2606
来释放人类身上
03:20
that we carry携带 with us every一切 day.
65
188337
1653
隐藏的天赋和激情
03:24
But first, I think
it's important重要 to recognize认识
66
192151
2143
但首先我认为很重要的
是需要认识到
问题是我们自己造成的
03:26
that we brought this problem问题 on ourselves我们自己.
67
194318
2152
03:28
And it's not just because, you know,
we are the one building建造 the robots机器人.
68
196494
3457
不仅仅是因为我们创造了机器人
03:32
But even though虽然 most jobs工作
left the factory decades几十年 ago,
69
200507
3184
尽管几十年间很多工作
就已经与工厂无关
03:35
we still hold保持 on to this factory mindset心态
70
203715
1937
我们却仍然固守着工厂
03:37
of standardization标准化 and de-skilling非技术.
71
205676
1959
那种去技能化的标准化思维
03:40
We still define确定 jobs工作
around procedural程序 tasks任务
72
208525
2351
我们仍围绕程序化的任务来定义工作
03:42
and then pay工资 people for the number
of hours小时 that they perform演出 these tasks任务.
73
210900
3488
然后按照人们执行任务的
小时数付他们薪水
我们创造了狭隘的工作定义
03:46
We've我们已经 created创建 narrow狭窄 job工作 definitions定义
74
214412
1756
03:48
like cashier出纳员, loan贷款 processor处理器
or taxi出租车 driver司机
75
216192
3240
比如收银员 贷款业务员 出租车司机
03:51
and then asked people
to form形成 entire整个 careers职业生涯
76
219456
2483
然后让人们围着这些单调的任务
03:53
around these singular单数 tasks任务.
77
221963
1630
去打造整个职业生涯
03:56
These choices选择 have left us with
actually其实 two dangerous危险 side effects效果.
78
224251
3533
这些选择事实上带给
我们两个危险的副作用
03:59
The first is that these
narrowly险些 defined定义 jobs工作
79
227808
2750
首先 这些被狭隘定义的工作
04:02
will be the first
to be displaced流离失所 by robots机器人,
80
230582
2423
会最先被机器人替代
04:05
because single-task单任务 robots机器人
are just the easiest最简单的 kinds to build建立.
81
233029
2985
因为单任务的机器人是最容易制造的
04:08
But second第二, we have accidentally偶然 made制作 it
82
236781
2393
其次 这种不经意间的选择
04:11
so that millions百万 of workers工人
around the world世界
83
239198
2128
让全世界成千上万的人
04:13
have unbelievably令人难以置信 boring无聊 working加工 lives生活.
84
241350
2310
从事着难以置信的无聊工作
04:16
(Laughter笑声)
85
244057
1871
(笑声)
04:18
Let's take the example
of a call center中央 agent代理人.
86
246427
2402
我们来看个呼叫中心客服的例子
过去的几十年间
我们夸耀着更低的运行费用
04:20
Over the last few少数 decades几十年,
we brag吹牛 about lower降低 operating操作 costs成本
87
248853
3003
因为我们把对脑力的大部分要求
04:23
because we've我们已经 taken采取 most
of the need for brainpower脑力
88
251880
2427
从人身上拿出来放进了应答系统中
04:26
out of the person
and put it into the system系统.
89
254331
2144
所以在一天的大多数时间里
他们只是在点击着屏幕
04:28
For most of their day,
they click点击 on screens屏幕,
90
256499
2521
04:31
they read scripts脚本.
91
259044
1201
念念稿子
04:33
They act法案 more like machines than humans人类.
92
261487
2653
行为模式更像机器而不是人类
04:37
And unfortunately不幸,
over the next下一个 few少数 years年份,
93
265278
2116
而且不幸的是 在接下来的几年里
随着我们的技术变得更加先进
04:39
as our technology技术 gets得到 more advanced高级,
94
267418
1859
04:41
they, along沿 with people
like clerks文员 and bookkeepers簿记,
95
269301
2584
他们以及诸如书记员和
簿记员那样的人
04:43
will see the vast广大 majority多数
of their work disappear消失.
96
271909
2412
将会面临大量工作机会的丧失
04:47
To counteract抵消 this,
we have to start开始 creating创建 new jobs工作
97
275495
2704
要应对这点 我们必须开始创造新的职业
04:50
that are less centered中心
on the tasks任务 that a person does
98
278223
2539
那种不那么以人的任务为中心
04:52
and more focused重点 on the skills技能
that a person brings带来 to work.
99
280786
2866
而是更集中在人的
工作技巧层面的职业
04:56
For example, robots机器人 are great
at repetitive重复 and constrained受限 work,
100
284389
3387
比如机器更适合重复性和受限的工作
04:59
but human人的 beings众生 have an amazing惊人 ability能力
101
287800
1949
但是人类具有不可思议的
富有创造力的能力
05:01
to bring带来 together一起
capability能力 with creativity创造力
102
289773
2279
05:04
when faced面对 with problems问题
that we've我们已经 never seen看到 before.
103
292076
2700
去应对那些从未遇到的新问题
05:07
It's when every一切 day
brings带来 a little bit of a surprise
104
295122
2980
当我们给人类而非机器人
05:10
that we have designed设计 work for humans人类
105
298126
2004
设计工作时 每天都可以
05:12
and not for robots机器人.
106
300154
1269
带来一点惊喜
05:14
Our entrepreneurs企业家 and engineers工程师
already已经 live生活 in this world世界,
107
302130
2898
我们的企业家和工程师
早已经出现在这个世上
05:17
but so do our nurses护士 and our plumbers管道工
108
305052
2592
我们的护士和水管工
05:19
and our therapists治疗师.
109
307668
1463
心理咨询师也同样如此
05:21
You know, it's the nature性质
of too many许多 companies公司 and organizations组织
110
309749
3057
如今太多的公司和组织
05:24
to just ask people to come to work
and do your job工作.
111
312830
3690
只是让人们来上个班做个工作
05:28
But if you work is better doneDONE by a robot机器人,
112
316544
2186
但如果你的工作
机器人可以完成得更好
05:30
or your decisions决定 better made制作 by an AIAI,
113
318754
2797
或者机器人做决定都比你强
05:33
what are you supposed应该 to be doing?
114
321575
1712
你还能做什么呢
05:36
Well, I think for the manager经理,
115
324013
2484
我认为对于管理者而言
05:38
we need to realistically现实 think about
the tasks任务 that will be disappearing消失
116
326521
3397
我们需要现实地思考一下
在接下来几年里
会消失的任务
05:41
over the next下一个 few少数 years年份
117
329942
1151
并且开始计划用更有意义
更有价值的工作去替代它们
05:43
and start开始 planning规划 for more meaningful富有意义的,
more valuable有价值 work that should replace更换 it.
118
331117
3872
05:47
We need to create创建 environments环境
119
335013
1429
我们需要创造环境
人类和机器人都可以共同成长的环境
05:48
where both human人的 beings众生 and robots机器人 thrive兴旺.
120
336466
2239
05:50
I say, let's give more work to the robots机器人,
121
338729
2536
让我们给机器人更多的工作
05:53
and let's start开始 with the work
that we absolutely绝对 hate讨厌 doing.
122
341289
2903
就从最讨厌做的工作开始
05:57
Here, robot机器人,
123
345428
1164
嘿 机器人
处理掉这个愚蠢的报道
05:58
process处理 this painfully痛苦 idiotic report报告.
124
346616
1851
06:00
(Laughter笑声)
125
348491
1423
(笑声)
再搬走这个盒子 谢谢
06:01
And move移动 this box. Thank you.
126
349938
1425
06:03
(Laughter笑声)
127
351387
1699
(笑声)
06:05
And for the human人的 beings众生,
128
353110
1529
对于人类自身
06:06
we should follow跟随 the advice忠告 from Harry掠夺
Davis戴维斯 at the University大学 of Chicago芝加哥.
129
354663
3554
我们应该遵从芝加哥大学
哈利·戴维斯的建议
他说我们需要做到让人们不把自己
06:10
He says we have to make it so that people
don't leave离开 too much of themselves他们自己
130
358241
3649
放在他们的后备箱中
06:13
in the trunk树干 of their car汽车.
131
361914
1331
我的意思是
人们在周末会变得非常厉害
06:15
I mean, human人的 beings众生
are amazing惊人 on weekends周末.
132
363269
2889
想一想你认识的人
以及他们在周六做的事
06:18
Think about the people that you know
and what they do on Saturdays星期六.
133
366182
3144
他们是艺术家 木匠 厨师 运动员
06:21
They're artists艺术家, carpenters木匠,
chefs厨师 and athletes运动员.

149
413853
2490
结果两者都不是
07:08

1803
在八周的时间里
08:09
people flexed弯曲 muscles肌肉 that they never

175
486346
2793
最后有个人把我拉到一边说
08:21
"I have to tell you,
176
489163
1569
我得告诉你
08:22
the last few少数 weeks has been
one of the most intense激烈,
177
490756
2776
这几个礼拜是我这辈子
08:25
hardest最难 working加工 experiences经验
of my entire整个 life,
178
493556
3279
最紧张 最辛苦的工作经历
08:28
but not one second第二 of it felt like work."
179
496859
2041
但我没有一刻感觉是在工作
08:32
And that's the key.
180
500080
1298
那就是关键
08:33
For those few少数 weeks, people
got to be creators创作者 and innovators创新.
181
501402
3710
在那几周里 人们需要
成为创造者和革新者
08:38
They had been dreaming做梦 of solutions解决方案
182
506811
1667
他们一直梦想着解决
08:40
to problems问题 that had been
bugging窃听 them for years年份,
183
508502
2484
那些烦扰了他们好多年的问题
08:43
and this was a chance机会 to turn
those dreams into a reality现实.
184
511010
2854
而这是一个把这些
梦想变为现实的机会
08:46
And that dreaming做梦 is an important重要 part部分
of what separates中隔离 us from machines.
185
514669
4442
而梦想是我们区别于机器的重要部分
08:51
For now, our machines
do not get frustrated受挫,
186
519135
3018
目前我们的机器不会有挫败感
它们不会被惹怒
08:54
they do not get annoyed懊恼,
187
522177
1407
08:55
and they certainly当然 don't imagine想像.
188
523608
2260
它们当然也不具有想象力
08:57
But we, as human人的 beings众生 --
189
525892
1699
但是我们 作为人类
我们会感到痛苦
08:59
we feel pain疼痛,
190
527615
1207
我们会觉得沮丧
09:00
we get frustrated受挫.
191
528846
1400
而我们最为烦恼和最为好奇之时
09:02
And it's when we're most annoyed懊恼
and most curious好奇
192
530270
3116
09:05
that we're motivated动机 to dig
into a problem问题 and create创建 change更改.
193
533410
3263
就是我们产生动力去
深究问题并作出改变之时
09:09
Our imaginations想象 are the birthplace出生地
of new products制品, new services服务,
194
537546
3910
我们的想象力是新产品 新服务
甚至新工业的诞生地
09:13
and even new industries行业.
195
541480
1233
09:15
I believe that the jobs工作 of the future未来
196
543476
1802
我相信未来的职业
09:17
will come from the minds头脑 of people
197
545302
1713
源于人们的头脑
09:19
who today今天 we call
analysts分析师 and specialists专家,
198
547039
2716
他们在今天被称作分析员和专家
09:21
but only if we give them the freedom自由
and protection保护 that they need to grow增长
199
549779
3478
但这只会在我们为他们
成为发现者和发明家
提供足够的自由和保护的情况下发生
09:25
into becoming变得 explorers探险 and inventors发明家.
200
553281
2469
09:28
If we really want to robot-proof机器人防 our jobs工作,
201
556714
2143
如果我们确实想让
工作不被机器人取代
09:30
we, as leaders领导者, need
to get out of the mindset心态
202
558881
2235
我们 作为领导者 需要抛弃
指使人们做事的模式
09:33
of telling告诉 people what to do
203
561140
1830
09:34
and instead代替 start开始 asking them
what problems问题 they're inspired启发 to solve解决
204
562994
3821
反而应该询问他们想解决什么问题
09:38
and what talents人才
they want to bring带来 to work.
205
566839
2365
以及他们想把什么天赋带到工作中
09:41
Because when you can bring带来
your Saturday星期六 self to work on Wednesdays星期三,
206
569681
3443
因为当你可以把周六的自己
带到周三的工作中时
09:45
you'll你会 look forward前锋 to Mondays星期一 more,
207
573148
1994
你会更期待周一
09:47
and those feelings情怀
that we have about Mondays星期一
208
575166
2682
而那些对周一的感觉
09:49
are part部分 of what makes品牌 us human人的.
209
577872
1758
是我们人类的一部分
09:52
And as we redesign重新设计 work
for an era时代 of intelligent智能 machines,
210
580467
3008
在为人工智能时代
重新设计工作的过程中

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Lee - Innovation leader
UPS’s David Lee works to create platforms that make it easier for people to turn fuzzy ideas into concrete solutions.

Why you should listen

David Lee is the Vice President of Innovation and the Strategic Enterprise Fund for UPS. In that role, he develops programs that make it easier for smart, creative people to get together and explore ideas.  It's clear that great ideas can come from anywhere. His responsibility to help people turn their ideas into tangible, pragmatic solutions.  His team coordinates communities, programs, and contests that give people permission to chase down problems that they are personally inspired to address.  He is constantly amazed at what happens when thoughtful, passionate people are given room to run.

Lee's career has been filled with interesting opportunities to break down new barriers for large corporations.  He has been involved in the launch of dozens of new products, services and businesses within the framework of corporate processes and expectations. Some of those efforts flourished while others failed. Because of those lessons, he looks to create pathways which result in rapid impact and "good failures" whenever possible.

Prior to joining UPS, he led innovation at SunTrust Bank. Lee started his career at Bank of America, where he worked in advanced technology and asset management. There he helped to launch retirement services and a strategic venture capital group. He studied economics at the University of Virginia and went to business school at the University of Chicago.
