Prior to the COVID pandemic many people worried about losing their jobs to advances in robotics, AI, and process automation. After COVID, enterprises have seen a dramatic rise in the use of AI, robotics, and process automation. The pandemic forced organizations to adopt automation technology at a faster rate than they had previously planned.
