Part 7/11:
AI's ability to perform tasks traditionally carried out by humans—at lower cost and with 24/7 availability—poses a substantial threat. Robots and AI bots are replacing middle managers, customer service reps, and knowledge workers alike. For example, in China, advanced robots are already operating in retail stores and service industries, showcasing a tangible transition toward automation.
This wave of robotic adoption isn't an isolated phenomenon. Globally, organizations are eager to leverage AI to improve efficiency, reduce overhead, and eliminate the labor disputes associated with unionization efforts. The disruption is underway.
