Research shows that empowering seems to be working when the focus is on creativity and citizenship. But it is the opposite results when expected work is of routine type. In general, we want everyone to move on a path to human development enhancing creativity ( a human species-wide feature) and citizenship - that is the path to achieve the greater good. Does that indicate expecting routine work (mostly) from workers is a violation of human ethics? Are we getting in the way of their human development pathways? Shouldn't artificial intelligence (AI) revolution provide ideal solutions by taking all the routine work from human beings and directing them on a path to enhance creativity and citizenship?
