It’s the year 2045 and the robots have finally taken over the world. And humans live in a world where robots hold all the power. They are in charge of everything, from the government to the local coffee shop.
The above scenario might be a stretch of Jay Jayamohan’s imagination, but the Executive Director of the Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Harrisburg University (HU) writes about the topic of automation and the transformation of jobs through a combination of robotics and artificial intelligence in his latest column for Times of India. The piece, Ready or not, here comes the new year… and robots!? is found online at https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/innovate-or-die/ready-or-not-here-comes-the-new-year-and-robots/
Jayamohan is a leading expert in disruptive innovation, design thinking, and strategic management.
