Will automation destroy more jobs than it creates?

Economists and entrepreneurs say the advent of robots and automation will destroy more jobs than it will create—leading to a world where computers do most of the work and humans do… something else. Some critics say experts are exaggerating when they say the future will be jobless. Automation will replace some tasks, but it will also create new opportunities. The cost of goods will go down. People will still need to program the robots too. What do you think will happen? 🤖

Unlike technological revolutions in the past, automation threatens to replace humans entirely. Already, fast food chains are […]
