Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which allows for the automation of the tasks of workers, has been one of the hottest categories in tech. The reason is actually simple: the ROI (Return on Investment) has generally been fairly high. Yet there are some nagging issues. And perhaps the biggest is the scaling of the technology. But AI (Artificial Intelligence) is likely to help out.

I spoke at a conference recently and one of the talks really resonated with me. The speaker asked the audience, "Who in this room has developed a machine learning or artificial intelligence model for their business?" "Now," he continued, "how many of you have that code in production?" Nearly every hand went down. The demonstration was so simple, yet it was incredibly effective.
