Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto

For doing the jobs that nobody wants to

And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto

For helping me escape, when I needed to

Thank you, thank you, thank you

I want to thank you

Please, thank you, oh-oh-oh, yeah

Nope, the above lyrics are not written by ChatGPT, but extracted from the 1983 hit “Mr. Roboto” by American rock band Styx.

And it is rather prescient, given the recent emergence of technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (AI).

Should we be engulfed by automation anxiety, and the threats posed to our jobs? Or should we be using technology to automate the work that we don’t enjoy doing? After all, AI may or may not replace people, but employees who use AI will replace those that do not.

Only you can be the judge.
