Automation and AI: Challenges and Opportunities - DATAVERSITY

Businesses across the globe are fascinated with the idea of AI and automation because this advanced technology promises operational efficiency, enhanced processes, and substantial cost savings. However, AI and its allied technologies have also created uncertainties, confusion, and doubts about the human capability for adopting, deploying, and executing these magical systems in actual business situations -- simply because the business leaders and operators are still all humans. Today, it is widely acknowledged that automation and AI technologies will gradually transform the global workplace, with intelligent machines performing human tasks in some cases and aiding the human in other cases. The presence of robotic machines in the workplace will ultimately increase efficiency and reduce costs. As a result, many human occupations will disappear, while others will adapt to technology-enabled roles.
