Bots, the new global disruptors

Take a good look at the people around you. If Governments and Academics are correct then the jobs of between a third to half of the people you're looking at, and at least a third of all of their organisations will be replaced and usurped by machines within just twenty years. Although you might not have realised it at the time your job and your company first came under threat was in the late 90's when the first E-commerce site popped onto your screen. Your first transaction was your first glimpse into a new world – a world where everything was on demand and where everything was served up from behind a screen. Yesterday you were buying books. While the glass hasn't changed much in those twenty or so years the technologies behind it have and at an exponential rate.
