The integration of robots into our lives has become so intense that we sometimes do not notice it. But the fact that we do not notice it does not mean that it does not significantly affect our everyday life.

The influence of automated machines is probably most noticeable in the field of production. Any factory cannot exist without equipment that would help in the production of goods. Also, many companies are already on the way to adding artificial intelligence to production. According to Zipdo’s “Essential Factory Automation Industry Statistics in 2023”, over the next five years, 85% of manufacturing managers believe that artificial intelligence and automation will play a very important role in the operation of their factories (Essential factory automation industry statistics, 2023).

It is also impossible not to mention the impact of robotic machines on medicine. Modern technology improves the efficiency, availability, and quality of medical care, which in turn helps both healthcare providers and patients. Referring to “Essential Automation in Healthcare Statistics in 2023”: machine learning and predictive analysis can lower patient readmissions more than 20% and automation of the medical paperwork of a medical worker will help to increase the time that can be devoted to the patient by 33% (Essential automation in healthcare statistics, 2023).

A very convenient automation and more visible to the common man is the automation of banking and finance. Each of us cannot imagine life without bank accounts and cards. Automated financial systems help in managing finances, trading, and banking operations. In obedience to “Essential Automation in Financial Services Statistics in 2023”, by 2022, banks will be able to almost completely serve customers and process data using automated processes, and more than 70% of banks are interested in investing money in automation and robotization (Essential automation in financial services statistics, 2023).

Of course, these are not all areas affected by automation and robotics, but they are some of the most common. In general, the transition to the use of machines in many processes that were previously performed by people is a great saving and optimization. However, there are significant disadvantages to this phenomenon. Many people lose their jobs. There have been many examples in history of how many people were left unemployed during the Industrial Revolution. This can happen in our time as well. A couple of years ago, various AI services began to appear, which could partially replace the services of such people as designers, programmers, marketers, and many others. But there is a way not to lose your job, in my opinion, it is not to ignore AI and be against it, but on the contrary to use it to make it easier and more efficient for your workers to perform their tasks.

After all, AI and other technologies are not created to make our lives harder, but conversely to make them easier.
