As part of my career, I am in the process of deploying robotic solutions from Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, and UiPath. These technologies represent exciting opportunities to reduce mundane workloads but I can easily see down road with Artificial intelligence and machine learning integration that it will start to displace the human workforce. Why pay some one $50k annually with benefits and inconsistent work behavior, when you can subscribe to a software robot for $5k a year that never calls out, has a bad day, makes a human error, and doesn't need benefits? A software robot today can easily do something in 1 minute that it takes a human 15 minutes to do and will only get even better with time. It's a new economic reality that we are facing and without taxing the robots, we are going to need things like a universal income. I am not hear to debate the politics of that, but I can see it being necessary.

Well, if you increase the stakes a little more, http://www.realdoll.com/.
