Future of Robotics Automation & Artificial Intelligence Software

According to a Forrester report, robots will eliminate 6 percent of all jobs in the U.S. by 2021. McKinsey's assessment is even more expansive -- they believe that by 2030 one-third of American jobs could become automated. This, however, doesn't mean that life will soon be like "The Jetsons." As technological developments have done in the past, the next generation of robots utilizing artificial intelligence and automation to streamline processes currently handled with the assistance of human workers will significantly alter the job market. This idea represents a form of disruptive innovation, a term that refers to when an emerging technology can utilize fewer resources, thus competing better against those without it.
