…as 20 million by 2030, with 14 million in China alone. This increase will be challenging for governments and policy-makers as it will impact the economy, the workplace, and society. As a result of robotization, tens of millions of jobs will be lost, especially in poorer local economies that rely on lower-skilled workers. This will, therefore, translate to an increase in income inequality. However, the rise of robots will also be beneficial in terms of productivity and economic growth, leading to the creation of new jobs. How Robots Change the World The robotics revolution is rapidly accelerating as technological advances…
